The Parables of Jesus

Guarding Against Greed

Jacob HarderJuly 19, 2026

Passage: Luke 12:13-21

All of us have at some point believed the story "I don't have enough" and that a bit more money could make our lives feel more secure or more full. But in The Parable of the Rich Fool, Jesus unmasks the truth that our desire for money that we think is normal can actually lead us to be trapped by it. Jesus warns us to guard ourselves against greed by rehearsing a different story about money - that God has been rich to us so we can be rich toward him. And it's as we rehearse this story by the help of his Spirit that our hearts become free for the rich life God made us for.
