Lenten Worship – The Parable of the Rich Fool

April 1, 2014 by john

fool

April 2nd

Worship at 11:00 a.m. in Fellowship Hall

7:30 p.m. in chapel

The Parable of the Rich Fool

“So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.”

 –Luke 12:21

Read the Parable from Luke 12:13-21

Some questions to consider:

  • Do you like to collect things?  If so, what?  What do you have a lot of in your house?
  • What would your ideal life be like 20 years from now?

What do you think Jesus is trying to say in this story?

  • It’s okay to be successful, but remember your highest priority.
  • To prepare for the future to have look beyond finances.
  • You can’t take it with you
  • Having material things can test your devotion to God
  • Other ideas?  ____________________

What is your reaction to:  “a person’s life does not consist in the abundance of their possessions?”

  • It sounds good, but clashes with the reality of life
  • Instead it should say “the one with the most toys wins”
  • Yes, the important things in life aren’t things
  • I need this reminder to be more faithful and generous toward God and others
  • Other ideas?   _____________________________________
