This sermon from Michael Moorhead compares the well known Dr. Seuss story “Yertle the Turtle” a passage from Luke to share insights on wealth, greed, and the impact our possessions have on us. Parables, like children’s stories, are simple passages that allow the listener to connect based on their own experiences. Though simple, both include a deeper meaning meant to provoke consideration and thought. Here, Michael asks— do we own our possessions, or do our possessions own us? The answer may not be as simple as you think.
