Stuff: What is it Good For?

You Had to Be There

We look at the "stuff" in our lives as blessings from God. But what is all this stuff really for? Why does God give us material wealth? The story of the Rich Man and Lazarus in Luke 16 points toward a beautiful truth: Our stuff is an invitation from God to join in new life!

From Series: "You Had to Be There"

The way Jesus taught attracted every kind of person, from the ultra-religious to the irreligious. What was it about his teaching? We miss how provocative his parables were because we're not first century Galilean peasants. In this series, we ask what it would be like if Jesus came today. What would his stories sound like? Just how good is this good news? Trust us... you had to be there.

Everyone knows the world isn’t as it should be. There’s a sickness deep within us, a rot in the human heart. The Bible calls that rot Sin, and even though no one likes to talk about Sin, we can’t escape its reality. A snake once whispered to us that we could be like God. We believed that lie, and the venom of Sin has been killing us ever since.
