Sunday Sermon

Poverty and wealth are very relative terms, and people with riches can be poor, and people with little wealth can be rich. Jesus says to the church of Laodicea in "You say, I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing. But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor blind and naked." But to the church in Smyrna He says, "I know your afflictions and your poverty-yet you are rich!" Today's gospel reading tell us of another rich man poor man situation where there was more to the story then meets the eye!
