Accumulation: How Much Is Enough? – Luke 12:13-34 (January 24)

Producer: Ryan Miller
Set-up:
Speaker: Colter Bloxom
Worship Leader:

Description:
Every commercial and ad that we see is designed to create dissatisfaction in our lives. The things that we own aren’t the newest or best and our culture tells us that if we could just purchase the bright, shiny My Life Is Perfect 3000 we would be content. That is, until the My Life Is Perfect 4000 comes out and the cycle starts all over again. How much stuff is enough? Can accumulating possessions provide satisfaction in life? We’ll explore what Jesus had to say about the difference between what we want and what we need and how to find contentment.
