Less is more
Our world says more is more. Our culture says more is more. Churches can say more is more. It’s pretty hard to swim against such a strong tide, yet that is exactly what Jesus calls us to today. He says: less is more.
More, more, more (1 Tim. 6:6–19)
Paul urges Timothy to be content with what God has given him, to be generous with what he has, and to hold on to his identity as a child of God. There’s something in that for all of us.
Bigger barns (Lk. 12:13–21)
Greed is not simply the accumulation of things. It’s about the way we find safety and security in them. Individuals can certainly do that, but what about churches?
