Luke 12:16-21

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that riches are not foolish, nor are they evil. It is the human heart that takes the blessings of God and condemns the very things that God would like us to use for His glory.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that there is a pattern of thinking and living in what this parable calls a fool. When there is no thought of God, or to assist others, we can fall into temptation; A snare that comes with terrible consequences.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that it seems right to consult our own thoughts, and we often push back on God’s plan. But, when we’re self-insured in our own security of riches, we fail to bless others with our abundance.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that building up our wealth while thinking that it’s never enough, is a sure sign that God is the last thing on our minds. To be rich is not foolish, but blessings can be a curse, when we refuse to use what we have for God’s glory.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that when we fail to think of design, we fail to include God in our plans for life. Whether we have plenty, or in lack, we can be taken up by materialism, not seeing that everything is a gift given by God.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we often forget how it all begins with God, and the blessing that comes when we’re generous with what we have. Wealth is not the issue, it’s what we do with it that makes all the difference to God.
