READ: Luke 12:13-21
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
MESSAGE
The parable of the rich fool explains a lot about one’s relationship with money and how it impacts one’s relationship with God. In this parable, a man’s farmland produced an abundance of crops more than he could store. His solution was to tear down his barns and build bigger ones to hold the surplus so he could sit back and enjoy life. God called him a fool and demanded his soul that night, rendering his selfish ambitions useless.
This parable is a stern warning for greedy and stingy people to repent of their ways before God. A person who has no regard for God or other people and has a mindset of “me, myself and I”, will ultimately be a victim of God’s judgment.

HYMN 16 – BREATHE ON ME
- Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love the way you love,
And do what you would do. - Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until my will is one with yours,
To do and to endure. - Breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with you the perfect life
For all eternity.
