Consumerism

System Failure

Our Consumeristic culture tells us that the way to the “good life” is to get more, buy more, have more. But God prescribes that the “good life” is found by giving. When the Israelites were about to enter the land, God gave them some specific instructions of how to handle their resources. Don’t take it all for yourselves, leave some for the poor and foreigner among you. What practices can the church give us that will help us resist consumerism and embrace generosity.

And the big question is: Who is the least likely kind of person to follow Jesus?

Someone of a different religion?

Someone who’s super-rich?

Someone powerful?

The truth is: there’s no place too wild for God, no person too wild for the Holy Spirit to captivate. Are we paying attention?

Join us Sunday as we learn to spot the Holy Spirit at work everywhere – especially in the least likely places.
