Verse of the Day October 10

This week we continue our series “Reimagining the Church.” Each week, we’ll explore a different New Testament image or metaphor for being disciples of Christ and the church and the focus this week is from the Gospel of Luke.

As followers of Christ, we are not to react to others based on how they treat us, but to act according to the kingdom principles of love, forgiveness, and generosity. Jesus invites each of us individually and the church to be a sign of the kingdom of God; to respond to challenges by loving, doing good, blessing, praying, and giving.

Today’s reading is Luke 12:13-21, The Rich Fool.

The Verses of the Day are Luke 12:20-21,

But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.”
