The Parable of the Rich Man | Grant Caldwell
Sermon: The Parable of the Rich Man
Series: The Parables of Jesus
Scripture: Luke 12:13-21
Teacher: Grant Caldwell
The Parable of the Rich Man is not just a moral tale but a direct message from Jesus about our relationship with money and possessions. As disciples of Christ, we're called to understand this relationship correctly to mature in our faith.
The warning against covetousness that Jesus shares in this parable applies to all, and Grant urges listeners to introspect and identify areas of greed in their lives. Listeners are challenged to reassess their priorities, recognizing that life's meaning isn't found in material abundance but in rich relationships with God and others.
Grant also addresses the misconception that financial success equates to divine favor, highlighting the importance of being rich towards God rather than amassing personal wealth. We're called to consider how we can use their resources to bless others, both locally and globally.
