    God Is Not a Fluffy Cat
    2025/08/17

    In this week's sermon, we explore Jeremiah 23:23-29, examining how we often try to contain and domesticate God to fit our human expectations. Using imagery of cats in boxes, wheat and straw, and various types of hammers, we consider the difference between temporary comfort and lasting spiritual nourishment. The sermon addresses current events like challenges to civil rights, connecting them to the biblical call for justice and authentic prophecy. Through Jeremiah's metaphors of fire and hammer, we examine what it means to speak difficult truths in love while resisting the temptation to soften God's transformative word.

    Today's Gospel lesson is from Luke 12:13-21. Jesus responds to an inheritance dispute with a parable about a rich fool who hoards his abundance rather than sharing with the community. The sermon explores different forms of greed beyond material wealth, examining how our relationship with resources - whether money, attention, or influence - reflects our spiritual priorities and understanding of God's kingdom economics. Through this lens, we see how true security comes not from what we store up, but from how we participate in God's economy of grace and mutual care.
