Title: The Parable of the Rich Fool


1
The Parable of the Rich Fool
  • Kingdom Teaching

2
Even Jesus
  • Had Daydreamers in His Audience
  • A Man was thinking about his share of an
    inheritance Luke 1213
  • While Jesus was discussing being aware of the
    leaven (influence) of the Pharisees
  • While Jesus was discussing ultimate loyalty and
    commitment to God under pressure of persecution

3
The Rich Fool
  • Was driven by dreams and goals for this life only
  • Lost sight of his souls need of God
  • Lost sight of the amount of time he might have to
    prepare to meet God
  • Put the most important matters aside
  • Used his time for only the life of earth comforts
    and pleasures
  • When is it right to die and meet God?

4
The Blinding Power of Covetousness
  • Bigger Barns and More Stuff
  • Does it rob you of true focus?
  • Does it change your affections?
  • Does it change your priorities?
  • Does it change your mission in life?
  • Tests
  • Where is commitment to God in this?
  • Where is thankfulness to God in this?
  • Where is confession of Christ in this?

5
The Kingdom Is Within
  • When you know what life is about
  • And you know it is not about things
  • When you are careful to be ready to confess Jesus
    Christ TODAY
  • When you are careful to be ready to meet God
    today
  • When you know what to value most
  • When you know when those values are being tested
    and you work hard to build larger areas in your
    heart to store spiritual treasures
