Series: Bless this Mess
March 16, 2025 | Rev. Brooke Heerwald Steiner
This week we will hear the story of the rich fool in Luke who tore down his barn in order to build a bigger one. He had so many leftover crops that he needed more room to store them. Unfortunately, he died that night and his plans to keep all his goods never came to be. The parable helps us ask ourselves questions about abundance and generosity. What does "enough" look like? What does contentment look like in a world of excess? How can we use generosity as a blessing in the chaos of life?
Series Information
Life is messy. The world is very messy. Luckily, our faith gives us practices to help navigate the chaos with grace and intention. During Lent, we’ll be looking at how we can bless the messes around us, within us, beside us. Honoring our bodies as sacred, embracing Sabbath in a restless world, fighting and forgiving will help us release the burdens we carry. We will explore the wisdom of living with enough, confession that brings healing, and the role of routines to ground us in God’s love. We do not have to have everything together in order to be transformed by God’s presence.
