This sermon is about the parable of the rich young fool. He is about to die so he goes out and builds a bigger barn to store more of his tings. God admonishes this kind of foolishness for him and for us. We must be people who have a better vision for the future. It can't be only for us. We're here for a short amount of time and have limited resources with limited availability; let's make the biggest difference we can for people.

Those of us who've gone ahead are saints. their faith mirrors tha of the Beatitudes. Their mercy and meekness paved the way for us to be here. their stewardship made possible our faith and practice. Our stewardship must do the same. We must be people who do for the next generation. We must be people who love the next generation. We must be people who walk in a way that opens doors for the next generation. To do this, we must give to the church.

Jesus calls his first disciples saying, "You will see greater things than these...come, follow me... come and see." Jesus is saying the same to you and me. Come and see. Come and follow me. Come and imagine. The call to follow Christ is the call to walk somewhere together. We must be people on a journey who are ready to come and see.

This is the story of Zacchaeus. He lived an independent life that preyed on the weak and powerless. He wasn't well-liked. but when Jesus walked into the city, Zacchaeus wanted to see him. By the end of the story, Jesus went home with Zacchaeus and eventually Zacchaeus is moved to give away his possessions to the poor. He realized his place was to give what he had to those who needed it, not hoard it for himself. We should do the same.
