Sermon Notes 11/23/25 Luke 12:13-21. . Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?" 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." And he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he though to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops? 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. And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.'" But God said to him 'Foo! 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." We live in the midst of a culture where we have more than we’ve ever had before, but we have less satisfaction in the things we own than ever before. Immediately prior to this text, Jesus is talking about the power of the Holy Spirit to lead people. In this verse, there's a telling interruption of that: a man asks Jesus to tell his brother to share his inheritance with him. We should not be surprised that money causes disruption. The man probably has the expectation that, as a rabbi, Jesus would sort out this superficial matter. But Jesus, as usual, strikes at the heart of the matter - the man’s insatiable drive for more. In the moment, Jesus uncovers the main problem - that craving for more has disrupted the man's relationships with others. We are to watch out for this in our hearts. And not just against money, against ALL forms of greediness. Jesus gives us this reminder - one’s life does not consist of the abundance of stuff. Which is why you can find the stuff and still feel empty. True abundance is the ability to step into another day satisfied with what God has given you. We’re quick to call out things like sexual sin, but according to scripture we should be just as quick to condemn covetousness in ourselves. The Apostle Paul names greed as idolatry. . It is foolish to work yourself to the bone for stuff that will not mean anything the night your soul is required of you.

America has an affordability crisis...in housing, with healthcare, with college tuition, and with child-care. It's just not possible for many families to have the SAME purchasing power as families did a generation ago. And yet, there IS one category that's become more affordable. And that's all the cheap stuff from China. It's filling our dressers, clogging our closets, and filling our cabinets and garages. So what's a person to do? In this message, Max Vanderpool tackles the boats from China - and how you can I can become more free.

The weekly sermon from Alfred Almond Bible Church in Almond, NY
What happens when you keep accumulating more and more? Ever fear that you won’t have enough? Do you struggle to give and share? Greed shows up in many ways and forms in our world today. But, for many people, they wonder, “is greed so bad?” In this message, Pastor Scott Savage continues our 7 Deadly Sins series by exploring how we can choose an alternative path to greed.
When a pastor is wearing a $2,000 sweater or a $4,000 pair of shoes in an Instagram post, there's a problem. Most folks would say that pastor is crossing a line. But what's true of pastors is true of everyone else. There's a line between a need and a want. There's a line between what's reasonable and what's excessive or extravagant. And that line is virtually impossible for us to see when it comes to our lives and our decisions. In this message, Max Vanderpool tackles the sin of greed and why we don't like greedy people.

All of us heard things about money growing up. We learned things ourselves. And we had to navigate hard times. In that process, we developed stories we believed about money. The question is, though, whether or not the story you’re telling is helpful. In this message, Scott Savage kicks off our our new series on money by talking about the broken stories we believe about money and what happens when we begin recognizing that a new story is available to us.
