Proper 21

Luke 16.19-31

Proclaim afresh - Week 4 of 4

Four weeks in which we find the ancient message of the Scriptures proclaimed afresh in Luke’s Gospel and made relevant for our life today.

Alerting

Today Jesus tells the parable of the rich man and the poor man which is both poignant and challenging.

This week's reading, Luke 16.19-31, provides an opportunity to:

  • acknowledge Luke’s reference to the Jewish Scriptures (AAA & CYP)
  • appreciate the impact of the spectrum of rich and poor (AAA & CYP)
  • notice who or what we are ignoring (AAA & CYP)
  • consider the consequence, challenge and responsibility of personal freedom. (AAA & CYP)

These resources were first published in 2013.
