Sermon
So, the reading from Luke’s gospel this morning is about a man … a farmer … whose land has produced abundantly … so abundantly that he has no room to store all his grain. Rather than sell or give the excess grain away to others, the man decides to tear down his storage units, and build bigger ones. This man figured that he would be set for life, and that he could “relax, eat, drink and be merry.” What he didn’t figure on was his death before the grain could be put into storage. The story ends with the line: “21So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.”
