Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Building on the Parable of the Rich Fool, Jesus teaches that life is more than possessions and that anxiety over material needs is unnecessary for those who know God as Father. Just as He feeds the ravens and clothes the lilies, He will surely care for His children—so much so that He gave His only Son for them. Our work, then, is not merely for personal gain but a way God provides for others and us. Freed from the idolatry of wealth and the burden of anxiety, we can live as little children—trusting, serving, and seeking God’s kingdom first—confident that our Father will provide all we need for body and soul.
