We talk about value, what is valuable to us, and how we work out the parable of the Rich Fool. Scripture: Luke 12:13–21 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?”…
We continue our series in our education hour called “Idols” this week. “Idols” is conversant with the new book by David Zahl, “Seculosity” which is an examination of our cultural idols and things that get in the way of our following God.
