Sermon for April 26, 2026
A reflection on the parable of the rich fool in Luke 12, who builds bigger barns to store his goods, only to hear God say, “This night thy soul shall be required of thee.” We spend so much effort protecting and accumulating things we believe will make us happy, yet they rust, break, and pass away. Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. True joy comes only from God, and as Jesus promises in John 16, “Ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.”
