In the gospel reading this morning we hear one of the most unconventional stories in the entire Bible. The parable begins with the words, "there was a rich man" … it ends with a stark warning to people who "loved money." The author of Luke’s gospel is making it clear … Jesus didn't hesitate to use money as a yardstick to measure our spiritual health.

Fifteen years ago today the world changed. As we all know, on September 11, 2001 terrorists hijacked four airplanes: two flew into the Twin Towers of the World Trades Center in New York; one into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.; and one crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Some of you know people who were in New York City at the time and were caught in the aftermath. Many of us know people directly affected by the collapse of the Twin Towers. All of us felt the impact of this horrific act … emotionally and spiritually. And we still feel the effects today.
