Use the Good China

  3. Use the Good China

Reference

Luke 12:13-21
Use the Good China

In a world that teaches us to store, protect, and preserve what we’ve been given, Jesus tells a parable about a man who builds bigger barns—and calls him a fool. This sermon explores what it means to live with open hands, trusting in a God who doesn’t hold back from us. With a personal story about inherited china and a Gospel rooted in daily bread and resurrection hope, we’re invited to stop saving the good stuff for later and start pouring out our lives in love—right now.
