The Land of a Rich Man… (Sermon from Luke

Jesus told a story about a farmer with a bumper crop. The farmer drew up plans to store his newly acquired wealth and retire. However, in the parable, “God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?” Why does God call the man a fool? What should this parable teach us about wealth? Is it possible this story has more to teach than we are typically comfortable admitting?

PRIMARY TEXT FOR THIS MESSAGE:
16 And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, 17 and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ 18 And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”’ 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ 21 So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.” (Luke 12:16-21, ESV)
