Proper 21

Luke 16.19-31

Context

We complete our consideration of the risks of discipleship with a parable which suggests that the alluring safety of wealth may not be all that it seems.

Common thread – Risk of riches (Luke 16.19-31)

It is a risk to place all our trust in God. This parable about Dives and Lazarus assures us that such trust is well placed.

An alternative thread for adults, The love of money, draws on 1 Timothy 6.6-19.
