In this week's message we cover the second of two parables on prayer in Luke 18. This is a simple but powerful word to be humble in prayer and in life.

The lectionary readings today were mostly from the wisdom literature of the Scriptures. Each on in a unique way urges us to be rich in God rather than rich in stuff.

This is one of my favorite stories in the gospels. It's filled with rich reflections around anxiety and learning how to sit at the feet of Jesus all wrapped up in a regular moment in the life of Jesus.
