The sermon is from Luke 12:13-21 – “The Deceitfulness of Riches”.  “But God said to him, ‘Fool!’ ….” – Luke 12:20

Christ exercises his prophetic office from his throne of glory at the right hand of God. He did it in the 1st Century; he does it now in the 21st Century. Those who say that Christ’s message is irrelevant in a “post-modern” culture have not read Luke 12:13-21. People squabbled over inheritances in the 1st Century; people still do today. People in the 1st Century needed a severe warning about the danger of covetousness; we need the same warning today. He warns us in these verses, but he also points us to a richness “… toward God.” We discover this in union with Christ alone, by faith alone; in him, says Paul, “… are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” (Colossians 2:3)
