"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?" - Matthew 16:26In that verse, Jesus is speaking to His disciples, teaching them about the cost of discipleship and the value of the soul in contrast to worldly gains. The question remains: is there a spiritual cost to achieving financial success? John Rinehart joins us today to talk about it.John Rinehart is the co-founder of Gospel Patrons, an international organization dedicated to inspiring a generation of business professionals to fulfill their God-given callings. He is also the author of Gospel Patrons: People Whose Generosity Changed The World and 31 Gospel Patrons.The Hidden Danger of WealthFinancial success is often seen as a blessing, and rightly so—Scripture tells us that God gives both riches and poverty according to His sovereign will. We see many wealthy individuals throughout the Bible who were faithful followers of God. However, Jesus frequently warned His disciples about the dangers of wealth.In today's world, success is often equated with financial prosperity, but Jesus made it clear: “You cannot serve both God and money” (Matthew 6:24). The culture around us idolizes wealth, comfort, and possessions, making it easy to fall into a cycle where financial gain becomes the ultimate goal. This cycle can lead us away from God rather than toward Him if we are not careful.The Toxic Cycle of SuccessMany people approach work as a means to an end—a way to earn money so they can rest, enjoy life, and feel secure. This mindset, however, is not where the Bible starts. Instead, when we strive for success without keeping God at the center, we often fall into a dangerous pattern:We Work Hard and Prosper—Hard work leads to financial gain, which is a good thing.We Enjoy Comfort and Security—As success grows, we begin to rely on wealth rather than on God.We Forget God—The more prosperous we become, the easier it is to take credit for our success.We Fall into Sin—As self-reliance replaces trust in God, spiritual priorities take a back seat.This cycle is clearly seen in the Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:16-21). Jesus describes a man who builds bigger barns to store his wealth, thinking he has secured his future. But God calls him a fool because he was not “rich toward God.”Forgetting the Source of Our WealthThe warning from Deuteronomy 8:18 is as relevant today as it was for Israel:“You may say to yourself, ‘My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.' But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.”After 40 years in the wilderness, Israel stood at the edge of the Promised Land, facing a new challenge—not scarcity, but abundance. Moses warned them that prosperity could be more spiritually dangerous than hardship if they forgot the God who provided for them.Likewise, in our financial success, we must remember that wealth is not ours—it belongs to God. If we forget this, we risk placing our trust in material security rather than in Him.The Virtuous Cycle of SuccessSo, how can we succeed financially without failing spiritually? We must shift from a toxic cycle to a virtuous cycle—one that aligns with God's design. Instead of working for wealth and rest, we should begin with resting in God.1. Start with RestGod commands rest through the Sabbath, showing that we are not slaves to work. Taking time to worship, study Scripture, and be in community with other believers reorients our hearts toward God.2. Work as WorshipWhen we see work as a way to glorify God rather than just a means to make money, our labor takes on new meaning. We use our talents and skills to serve others and fulfill the good works God has prepared for us.3. Recognize God's ProvisionSuccess is not merely the result of our hard work—it is a blessing from God. Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us that even the ability to create wealth comes from Him.4. Practice Radical GenerosityUnderstanding that our wealth belongs to God transforms how we use it. Instead of hoarding, we become generous stewards, using resources to care for the poor, support the gospel, and advance God's kingdom.5. Rejoice in Eternal ImpactWhen our work and wealth contribute to God's mission, our joy increases. We see our daily efforts as part of something bigger—something eternal.A Call to Purposeful LivingIf you are successful in your career, know that your work matters to God. You are not second-class in His kingdom. When you connect your success to His mission and live generously, you experience the greatest joy.Let's not fall into the trap of forgetting God in our prosperity. Instead, let's embrace a virtuous cycle of success—one where work is worship, wealth is stewardship, and generosity fuels the kingdom of God.For more insights, visit Gospel Patrons and explore the stories of those who have used their success for God's glory.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Should we rent out our paid-off home when we retire and move closer to family, or should we sell it instead?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineGospel PatronsGospel Patrons: People Whose Generosity Changed The World by John RinehartWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

The Parable of the Rich Fool12.13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?” 15 And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” 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.”

What if everything you own isn't really yours? It's a biblical truth that changes everything once you grasp it. The belief that God owns it all has profound implications for how we manage our resources—and our lives. Let's explore what it means to be a faithful steward of everything God has entrusted to us.The Foundation of Biblical Money ManagementThe cornerstone of biblical money management is the belief that God owns everything. Psalm 24:1 states this clearly:“The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.”Paul builds on this truth in 1 Corinthians 4:7, reminding us that all we have is a gift from God:“What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?”Acknowledging this truth is one thing; living it out is another. It requires a shift in how we view money and possessions. God isn't a consultant or silent partner in our financial decisions—He's the owner. As His stewards, we're entrusted to manage His resources for His purposes.What Does It Mean to Be a Steward?The Koine Greek word for steward, oikonomos, means “household manager.” Like a household manager oversees someone else's property, we manage God's resources. We own nothing but are responsible for everything under our care, including our finances, time, talents, and relationships.Even our ability to earn a living is a gift to be managed wisely. Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us:"You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth."Stewardship ResponsibilitiesAs stewards, we manage God's resources according to His will, not our own. This means making decisions that align with His purposes. Let's break down our responsibilities as stewards.1. Accountability to GodWe are accountable to God for how we manage His resources. Romans 14:12 says:“So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.”This includes using our resources to advance God's Kingdom, care for others, and reflect His character. Similarly, 2 Corinthians 5:10 reminds us:"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil."2. Living with an Eternal PerspectiveInstead of focusing on temporal wealth, stewards invest in eternal treasures. Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:19-21:"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth…but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven."3. Faithfulness in Small ThingsFaithful stewards handle even the smallest responsibilities with care. Jesus emphasizes this in Luke 16:10:“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much.”4. Generosity and Open HandsWhen we acknowledge God as the owner of all we have, it becomes easier to hold our possessions loosely. Faithful stewards give generously, reflecting God's generosity and trusting Him to provide for their needs.5. Humility in SuccessGood stewards recognize that all they have comes from God. Jesus warns against pride in the Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21), where a man takes credit for his wealth without acknowledging God's provision. Faithful stewards give God the credit for their success.Stewardship Transforms Our LivesLiving as faithful stewards transforms how we approach our finances—and our lives. It brings greater purpose, responsibility, and joy. Most importantly, it reflects our commitment to Christ and our trust in Him for all things.Our ultimate goal is to hear Jesus say, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master” (Matthew 25:23).By embracing the truth that everything belongs to God, we honor Him as the owner and find freedom in managing His resources for His glory. Let this perspective guide your financial journey and every decision you make.FaithFi's New Publication: Faithful Steward Starting this month, FaithFi is launching a new quarterly publication, Faithful Steward.

She needs major renovations, like a kitchen renovation, but she doesn't want to refinance to pay for it. I will be the beneficiary of the condo once she passes away through a Lady Bird Deed. Some family members are telling me I should pay for the renovations, but I'm unsure if I'm responsible.My father-in-law passed away about a month ago, and I'm helping my mother-in-law navigate everything. They had about $11,000 in credit card debt. The credit card companies said they could stop the interest, but she still has to pay the remaining balance. She's wondering if she should do that or try to consolidate the debt into one loan instead.I'm in terrible debt with credit card interest rates between 19-22%. I recently had to pay for my daughter's medical expenses, and the debt has multiplied. I tried a debt consolidation company, but they told me to stop paying my cards and go into default. That felt dishonest, so I stopped. I just want to do the right thing and get this debt under control. I need help.As my husband and I approach retirement, how much do we share about our financial situation with our almost 30-year-old children? I'm concerned that too much or too little information could impact their sense of responsibility and obligation. I'm trying to find the right balance and timing for communicating this to them.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly PublicationSplitting Heirs: Giving Your Money and Things to Your Children Without Ruining Their Lives by Ron Blue with Jeremy WhiteChristian Credit CounselorsLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Anxiety is a common human problem, and one of the most common forms of anxiety is money. In the parable of the rich fool, and the teaching that follows, Jesus shows us that trusting in God's provision frees us from worry and helps us to make generosity a habit.

This series is a study of the gospel of Luke. Luke was a traveling physician and companion of the Apostle Paul. Each week, as we study Luke, we seek to find the prescription that this Christian doctor would prescribe for us to become more like Jesus.

While Jesus was teaching about fear and anxiety, a man from the crowd interrupted. He wanted Jesus to command his brother to share the inheritance. Jesus saw something deeper. He forced man to see his own covetousness, and Jesus warned us not to measure life and meaning based on the things we possess. 

Pastor Phil delivers a sermon on the parable of the Rich Fool as recounted in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 12. Luke 12:13-21 "Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”  Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”  And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'  “Then he said, ‘This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain.  And I'll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”'  “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'  “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

  As we navigate the complexities of modern life, our relationship with money often reflects our spiritual health. This Man to Man Podcast: Financial Faithfulness aligns our financial decisions with God's plan. Let's challenge ourselves to reconsider our perspectives on wealth, generosity, and trust in God's provision. The Spiritual Perspective of Money In a society, the pursuit of wealth can overshadow our spiritual priorities. We explore how to realign our financial practices with biblical teachings. Discussing the Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21), we are reminded of the transient nature of earthly treasures and the importance of stewardship over mere ownership. With Matthew 6:24 as our guiding verse, we confront the idolatry of money. This perspective encourages listeners to adopt a mindset of managing God's resources, not ours. The Power of Financial Faithfulness We face the challenge of living generously in a world that often prioritizes personal gain. Turn to the story of the widow's offering (Mark 12:41-44), which illustrates faithful sacrificial giving. This segment explores how generosity reflects our faith, strengthens our character, and impacts our community. Emphasizing 2 Corinthians 9:7, we discuss practical ways to cultivate a heart of generosity. It challenges each listener to consider how […] The post Financial Faithfulness appeared first on UNCOMMEN.

Part 51 of "Luke: Mission to the World"

1. The tendency toward greed. 2. The foolishness of greed. 3. The solution to greed.

Understanding Luke Chapter 12: Lessons on Faith, Materialism, and PreparednessThe Gospel of Luke, one of the four canonical Gospels in the New Testament of the Bible, offers profound insights into the teachings of Jesus Christ. In Chapter 12 of Luke, Jesus addresses a multitude of topics, ranging from faith and materialism to preparedness and spiritual vigilance. Through a series of parables and teachings, the chapter imparts valuable lessons that are relevant even in today's fast-paced and materialistic world.Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21):In the opening verses of Luke 12, Jesus narrates the parable of the rich fool. A man who had an abundant harvest decided to tear down his existing barns and build larger ones to store his surplus crops, thinking that he could now relax and enjoy his life. However, God rebukes him, calling him a fool for placing his security in earthly possessions rather than in God.The parable illustrates the folly of prioritizing material wealth over spiritual richness and serves as a warning against the dangers of greed and avarice. Jesus reminds his audience that life is uncertain, and true fulfillment comes from seeking a relationship with God rather than amassing earthly treasures. Encouragement to Trust in God (Luke 12:22-34):Continuing his discourse, Jesus addresses the crowd's concerns about their daily needs and anxieties.He encourages them to trust in God's providence, pointing to the examples of how God takes care of the birds of the air and the lilies of the field. Jesus emphasizes that worry cannot add a single moment to one's life. Instead, he instructs his followers to seek God's kingdom above all else, promising that their needs will be met. This teaching underscores the importance of prioritizing spiritual values over material pursuits and serves as a call to live with faith and reliance on God's guidance.Call to Watchfulness and Readiness (Luke 12:35-48):In the latter part of Luke 12, Jesus emphasizes the need for his disciples to be watchful and ready for his return. He uses the imagery of servants waiting for their master's return from a wedding banquet to illustrate the importance of being prepared for the unexpected.This teaching encourages believers to live in a state of spiritual vigilance, as they do not know when the Lord will return. Whether in times of abundance or adversity, Jesus advises his followers to remain faithful and responsible stewards of their responsibilities, knowing that their actions will be held accountable in the end.Conclusion:Luke Chapter 12 provides a comprehensive guide to navigating life's challenges while maintaining a steadfast commitment to faith, humility, and spiritual readiness. Through the parables and teachings presented in this chapter, Jesus imparts timeless wisdom that is as relevant today as it was during his earthly ministry. The chapter addresses the perils of materialism and the importance of trusting in God's providence, as well as the necessity of living with an awareness of our spiritual responsibilities and accountability. As modern readers, we can draw inspiration from these teachings to cultivate a balanced approach to life that values both our spiritual journey and our relationships with others, all while keeping our hearts and minds attuned to the teachings of Christ.SendMe Radio is now an online streaming internet radio station, packed with all the messages on the podcast.

Our Bible reading for 6aug23 was Luke 12 13 to 21. Read by Hugh Elphinstone.

Message preached at Grace Family Church, Caymanas Estate, Jamaica, by Joel Bain on July 23, 2023.

What makes for a full and rich life? Humans have been trying to answer that question since the dawn of time. Is it the accumulation of things or wealth? Is it the people we do life with? is it something else? In today's text, Jesus' reminds us what brings life fullness and what doesn't. Come, let's learn from God's word this morning!

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.James 4:13-17The brevity of life: we are mists.If it is the Lord's will – adding “we shall live…”  This is much more than “inshállah.”Verse 17 is about how we go about making our plans. It's not simply a passage about acting against our conscience.We can identify several social groups in the community James addresses. The poor include subsistence farmers. There are rich landowners, and quite possibly absentee landlords. There are entrepreneurs—who hope to become wealthy.Entrepreneurs should not necessarily assume they will still be alive next year!An ancient prayer for Yom Kippur asked the Lord for a year of low prices, a year of plenty, and a year of business dealings (Yoma 5:2). But it's not commerce or even wealth that is condemned. It's the spiritually nonchalant desire to become rich. In their complacency their thinking was secular, not godly.That's the issue. Like the rich man in the Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21).Next: through the whole book of James in the CSBBoasting in our plans—failing to include God in our equation.

Join Pastor Josiah Walker as he preaches the third sermon of RLC's series: Potent Parables. In his sermon, “The Rich Fool”, he speaks on Christ's parable of the man who thought he could store up treasures for himself as if that were the point and hope of this life. Through this message you'll hear that our hope shouldn't be in our possessions or anything on earth, but rather in our true treasure: Jesus Christ. Copyright 2022.
