Practicing Generosity
Sep 29, 2024 • Rev. Jason Dillard
Text: Luke 16:19-31
In Jesus’ day, the belief was that wealth was a sign of God’s blessing and poverty was a sign of God’s judgment. But in Luke’s Gospel, Jesus tells a story about a rich man and a beggar that completely flips the script. In a story of dramatic contrasts, Jesus invites us to see the people on our doorstep and use our resources to offer them the love of God. According to Jesus, a failure to do so comes with tragic consequences.
