Drew Pederson, one of our governing elders, brings us to Luke 12:13-21, Jesus’ invitation to be “rich in the things of God,” a contrast to His warning to “be on your guard against all kinds of greed.” For Drew, this posture of being rich toward God is an open-handedness and generosity in every area of our lives – not just dollars and cents, but all of our decisions regarding such things as use of time and resources, and the amount of control we attempt to exert over things we think we ought to be able to influence.

This is where the Kingdom of God collides with – and offers such hearty and life-giving alternatives to – the distorted, constrained, and small kingdoms of this world.
