Luke 12:13-21 ~ Say What?: A Rich Fool

Text: Luke 12:13-21

Title: Say What?: A Rich Fool

Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

This week, we start a new sermon series looking at several of Jesus’ parables. Often parables can be confusing be cause they come out of a culture radically different than our own: primarily agricultural, Jewish, 2,000 years ago, with a little mixture of Greek culture thrown in. On top of that, Jesus told parables in part to keep his mission and teaching a little obscured to those on the outside. As a result, we often read his parables and find ourselves puzzled, rather than enlightened. Over the next few weeks, we will come to these parables with fresh eyes as we seek to understand them through the eyes of a Middle Eastern Jew.
