Join us for 9 am worship with communion as Rev. Dr. Craig Alwin shares the sermon ” Healthy vs. Wealthy.” Below are questions to consider for this Sunday’s sermon.
- What aspects, choices, or perceptions of the rich man’s life defined him as a fool?
- In what ways are you similar to or different from the rich man?
- How do you define a line between “success” and “greed”?
- How might these questions be answered from the perspective of our congregation, the church in general, your employer, our community, our nation, etc.?
- In what tangible ways might our household of ministry proclaim this gospel message?
God’s Word Is Proclaimed
