Riddle Me This: Jesus' Parables of God's Reign #5

August 11, 2014  /  Rev. Erin James-Brown

Erin James-Brown has a way with words. But really, she has a way with life. We love the way she describes the with-God-way, with longing — and also with her teeth gritted, because, as she says, "doing what Jesus proposes here is stupid. Watch out." Yeah, we really should be able to admit that what we're doing, seeking this treasure with our whole lives on the line, is reckless and risky. Matthew 13:44-46 and following.

Confounding questions for our post-sermon conversation:

1. Have you ever found something for which you were willing to give up something valuable? Was it an easy decision, or difficult? Would you do it again?

2. What do you think about Jesus' scandalous relationship to money (i.e. asking people to sacrifice it all, requiring his disciples to depend on the hospitality of others)? How does his way of talking about money strike you? Does it challenge? inspire? leave you with more questions?
