luke 12:13-21

As we wrap up the Parable of the Rich Fool from Luke 12:13-21, we see that God has been rich toward us. 

In Luke 12:13-21 we find the Parable of the Rich Fool. Through this parable, Jesus demonstrates how greed is isolating. 

(Sermon preached July 31, 2022) In Luke 12:31-21, Jesus teaches that life is about more than an abundance of possessions.  Greed can manifest in our lives in many ways and cause suffering.  Jesus says, "Beware!" So what is the antidote?  How do we become rich toward God?  Here are three ways: Be aware.  Be grateful.  Be generous.  

Investors tout cryptocurrencies as the currency of the future. But this kind of virtual money follows “the greater fool” theory of investment. They generate no cash flow, so for you to profit, someone else must pay more than you did. Wouldn’t you want to take a deep breath before becoming the next “greater fool” in a long line of fools? This is the same kind of pause that Jesus says is necessary to make wise decisions in all aspects of our financial lives. If we don't pause and apply the teachings of Jesus we risk becoming enslaved by greed, worry, and shortsightedness. Check out this message as we learn how to avoid becoming the greater fool.
