10 Tweets on “Deaf to God” (Luke 16:11-15,19-31)

Here's last weekend’s sermon in 10 tweets.

Pink Birkin Bag

1/ The Rich Man and Lazarus is about how wealth, by it’s very nature, makes us ridiculous with disastrous results. 

2/ There’s probably not a one of us that believes money is as dangerous as Jesus says it is. I’m trying to believe him.

3/ Wealth hardens our hearts toward others.

4/ “It literally is a compassion deficit that’s produced by lots of wealth.”

5/ The rich man is the trajectory of the life of a man who loves money. 

6/ You have to intentionally counteract the corrupting power of money and wealth.

7/ Jesus: “The way is easy that leads to destruction.”

8/ Loving money makes us deaf to God.

9/ We simply will not listen to God when money has our devoted attention.

10/ You can’t just stop loving money.

The Weekend - "Deaf to God" (Luke 16)

What hardens our hearts toward God, makes it frighteningly easier to end up in hell, makes us deaf to God, and possesses a power you can’t stop? 

It’s what this weekend’s sermon is about as we continue to look at the stories of Jesus. 

When you come this weekend, come ready to hear, but also come ready to connect with God and others. 

Engage in the songs and prayers of confession. 

Drink in the assurance of God’s forgiveness in Christ.

Listen to the voice of the Spirit.

Sing the praises of God to each other and to God. 

Go out and be the church, lovingly pointing others to Christ.

Come and worship.
