The Rich Fool, Ecclesiastes, and Finding True Wealth. Join Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Rolf Jacobson as they dive deep into the challenging texts for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost (August 3rd, 2025). This episode explores Luke's parable of the rich fool, examining what this wealthy man actually did wrong and why Jesus calls him "fool" rather than "sinner." The hosts tackle tough questions about wealth, possessions, and what it means to be "rich toward God." They discuss how the parable connects to our modern struggles with storage units, financial security, and the subtle ways greed can creep into our lives - even when we're just trying to be responsible. The conversation also explores the challenging pairing of this text with Ecclesiastes, examining the wisdom literature's perspective on vanity (Hebrew: hevel - like smoke or vapor) and the fleeting nature of worldly pursuits. Plus, they delve into the beautiful poetry of Hosea 11, where God's parental love and tender compassion shine through despite Israel's unfaithfulness.

Pastor Eric shares a message based on the parable of the rich fool in Luke 12, emphasizing the dangers of greed and the importance of prioritizing spiritual richness over material abundance. He encourages us to focus on being right with God, as true worth is not determined by possessions but by our relationship with God.

Pastor Scott's message emphasizes the importance of being spiritually prepared and warns against the dangers of greed, highlighting that true worth is not determined by material possessions but through a relationship with God. By referring to the parable from Luke 12, he encourages us to be rich towards God by placing our faith in Jesus and fostering a deeper spiritual connection.

11TH HOUR ENCOUNTER WITH BISHOP EDDIE FABIN

You can read the whole text here: https://dougapple.blogspot.com/ +++++++ I'm Doug Apple...and my heart is on fire. (Luke 24:32) I was training an intern in the art of digital audio editing. I said, “You're going to be doing a lot of zooming in and zooming out.” “Why?” she said. “Because you have to zoom in close to make tight cuts,” I said. “But then you have to zoom back out to listen to the edit and make sure it's right.” The same is true in graphic design, and video editing: a lot of zooming in and zooming out. I did the same as a photographer with my trusty old 35mm camera. I'd zoom all the way in on a subject to set the focus, then zoom back out to see the whole picture. Imagine Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel. He had to get up close to paint, but he had to move away to see the whole thing…which is not easy when you're painting a ceiling that is over 60 feet high! Speaking of 60 feet high, that's how big the presidential heads are that are carved into Mt. Rushmore. For him to zoom out, the sculptor Gutzon Borglum had to climb down the mountain! A lot of zooming in and zooming out…that was my advice for the intern, and that's my advice for all of us. In life we need to do a lot of zooming in and zooming out. The old saying is, "Don't spend your life climbing the ladder of success, only to find that it was leaning against the wrong wall.” We can get so zoomed in on each rung of the ladder that we never zoom out and see if it's up against the right wall. Another old saying is, “They can't see the forest for the trees.” That's because they are so focused on individual trees that they never step back to see the forest, or everything that's outside the forest. We read about a man like this in the Bible. In Luke 12 Jesus told The Parable of the Rich Fool. The man was so successful he had to build more and more storage units to contain it all. The rich man said to himself in Luke 12:19, “You have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” He was very zoomed in on his current success and comfort. But then God lowered the boom on him in verse 20. God said, “Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be?” If only the man would have taken some time to zoom out and see the bigger picture, including eternity and God. In Luke 18 we read about the rich young ruler. Jesus told him to sell his possessions, give the money to the poor, and to follow Him. The man was so zoomed in on his riches, that's all he could see. He needed to zoom out and see the bigger picture, that he was talking to the King of Kings. And the King of Kings is talking to us today. Are we too zoomed in on our present life, our present rung on the ladder, our one little tree in the forest? Psalm 90:12 says, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Second Corinthians 4:18 tells us “…the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” In Luke 10, Martha was very zoomed in on what seemed so important that day, all the preparations. But her sister Mary had zoomed out to see the big picture, and that was Jesus Himself, the Lord of All, right there in their house. How can we avoid these mistakes? Yes, we zoom in to take care of details, but then we have to zoom out again to make sure we are on the right track. Because in life, as in digital editing, we need to do a lot zooming in and zooming out. May God bless you today. I'm Doug Apple.

"But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God." Luke 12:20—21 ESV My primary calling and love is the pastorate, but some may not know that I also serve as a professor at a local Christian university. At the end of every spring semester, I watch graduating seniors stress over what to do with their lives. While I encourage them to trust God to show them the way, the world is screaming something different: gaining more is the measure of becoming more. They are told they need a job, a house, and a fat bank account to be happy—and if they don't get these things, their lives will be less than. What a tragic lie. We live in a fast-paced world that celebrates self-sufficiency and personal gain. To society, getting more is thriving more. Your worth is measured by what you have, and if you save money, manage your resources, and prepare for retirement, life will supposedly be grand. But Scripture shows us something better. Having resources isn't bad, but relying on them—trusting in them for security—reveals a deeper problem. If our hearts long for self-sufficiency over God-dependence, our goods are rotten because our hearts are rotten. We forget that what we have won't last, but our souls will. The real question is: which do you want to be richer, your possessions or your soul? In the Parable of the Rich Fool, Jesus teaches what a truly rich disciple looks like. He confronts the tragic dance between the search for meaning and the certainty of finality. One day, all our efforts to save, spend, and secure a full life will fade, and only what was aimed at God will endure. Having stuff is not bad, but depending on it is deadly. How do we live richly toward God instead of ourselves? How does the reality of our finality shape a heart fully focused on Him? This week, we'll explore Jesus' answer together.

The Rich Fool & The Rare Jewel (Luke 12;13-21) by Edgington EPC

Luke 1:13-21. The odds of winning the lottery are about 1 in 300 million — and even then, money can ruin more lives than it blesses. But this isn't new — Jesus confronted this very issue in Luke 12. In this week's message, we explore why what we do with what we have matters far more than what we have. Are we living open-handed or white-knuckled? Are we rich toward God — or just toward ourselves? Join us as we wrestle with the seductive pull of wealth and learn how to seek the treasure that truly lasts.For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, visit our Facebook page for the latest details!If you'd like to check out more resources, get to know Skyline Church, or donate to our ministry and missions please visit www.skylineofallon.com.

We live in a world obsessed with “more.” More stuff. More success. More status. But Jesus warns us that a life full of possessions can still be empty in eternity. In this episode, we dive into The Parable of the Rich Fool, where Jesus exposes the subtle trap of greed and calls us to live lives that are rich toward God.

Join us as Houston Bynum leads Bible class on the Parable of the Rich Fool. 

Luke 12:13-21 — In this sermon on the parable of the rich fool from Luke 12:13-21, preached on a Sunday evening to the Seventh Reformed Church in Grand Rapids (Michigan), Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones exposes the danger and tragedy of self-deception. The parable arose from a man interrupting Jesus' teaching to ask him to intervene in a family inheritance dispute. Jesus, shocked by the request, warns the man and the crowd to "beware of covetousness". He then tells the parable of a rich man who treasured up possessions for himself but was not "rich toward God." The man's folly, as Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains, was rooted in self-deception regarding his own capacity as a thinker and planner. While successful in business, the rich man left God completely out of his thinking and planning. He failed to consider his soul, God's claim on his life, and the fleeting nature of earthly possessions. The sermon challenges hearers to examine themselves and ensure God is central in all of their reasoning and aspirations. *Special note on Dr. Lloyd-Jones's Preaching Method During his ministry, it was Dr. Lloyd-Jones's practice to preach sermons geared towards the edification of believers at the Sunday morning service and sermons geared towards the evangelism of unbelievers at the Sunday evening service. This sermon serves as a good example of a message geared towards unbelievers, whereas its counterpart from the morning service an example geared towards believers. This method has been referred to half-jokingly by contemporaries as "Saints in the morning, Sinners at night!" However, it must be noted that this practice did not mean that within Dr Lloyd-Jones's sermons edification and evangelism were mutually exclusive. There would be plenty within each sermon to feed and convict both believers and unbelievers alike.

In this week's message, Michael unpacks the Parable of the Rich Fool and Jesus' teaching against anxiety from Luke 12. He discusses the danger of putting our trust in anything above God. These counterfeit treasures, even those that may be good gifts, slowly kill us with worry and anxiety. Instead, we should seek the authentic treasure that God alone provides. It is only through Jesus that we get true, lasting power, approval, comfort, and security. -Featuring Michael Lepinay

You must not let money blind you to the reality that to be wise in this world you must be rich toward God.

How much is enough? This question can apply to many different areas of our lives, but today we're looking at this question in regard to money and wealth.Other than theological issues like faith and God's kingdom, the number one issue that Jesus addresses in the Bible is the issue of money and wealth.He doesn't condemn wealth. He doesn't say that money is inherently evil, but Jesus sternly warns us against the dangers of the love of money. >>Watch on YouTube

What's your life really about? Jesus tells two stories—one about a rich young fool who hoarded everything for himself and lost it all, and another about a rich young ruler who walked away sad because he couldn't let go of his wealth.But what if that same man later gave it all away and changed the world? The truth is, what you trust in—your wealth, your plans, or Jesus—determines everything. If your life ended today, what would it have been about? Maybe it's time for a shift. Are you open to that?

Luke 12:13-21 The post The Parable of the Rich Fool appeared first on Pillar Baptist Church.

What if tomorrow isn’t promised? What if today is all you had? How seriously would you take your faith, then? This parable was told by Jesus as a warning to anyone who says, “I’ll take my faith seriously once I _______.” That sentence can be filled with a myriad of different things. “I’ll take my faith seriously when I finish college.” “I’ll take my faith seriously once I have a career.” The truth is, we don’t know when our time will come. The time we have here on this earth is precious, and what a waste it turns out to be if we take all this time pursuing material wealth over spiritual riches Go to JesusPodcast.com and receive daily devotionals about Jesus.Today's Bible verse is Mark 16:6 from the King James Version.Download the Pray.com app for more Christian content including, Daily Prayers, Inspirational Testimonies, and Bedtime Bible Stories.Pray.com is the digital destination for faith.
