Carrying on our series on what we can learn from the brand new church in

Acts, we’re looking at the antidote to greed today. For many of us, greed

is that icky thing we've picked up as means to survive. It tells us the

more we possess, the safer we will be but ironically, it leaves us feeling

more empty and it almost always hurts others. None of this is new, and if

we want to be who Jesus has made us to be, we'll need to look inward

ourselves and be oriented towards grace just like the church in Acts did .

When we trust the Spirit and lunge into community, we rob greed of its

power and become open handed people engaged in kingdom activity.
