Our word “economy” comes from the Greek word for “household.” While we might think of an economy as a big system of banks and corporations and jobs and trade, in the original sense of the word, it referred to the way we care for each other in community.
When Jesus talks about the Kingdom of Heaven, he’s often talking about an alternative economy, one grounded in God’s love. In God’s economy, we enjoy rich fellowship at the same time as we provide for one another’s needs.
In our upcoming adult education series, Steven Tomlinson will be leading a tour of what the New Testament teaches us about God’s economy and how we can start practicing it here and now.
