Parable of the Rich Farmer Luke 12:16-21

The Story Told… The Land Of A Rich Man Produced Plentifully (Lk. 12:16)

The Story Told… The Land Of A Rich Man Produced Plentifully (Lk. 12:16) Man Reasoned Within Himself (Lk 12:17-19) I have nowhere to store the abundance of my fruits. I will tear down my barns and build bigger barns. I will then bestow all my grain and goods in them I will say to myself – thou hast much goods laid up for many years – enjoy the fruits of your labor “take thy ease… eat, drink and be merry”

I will tear down my barns and build bigger barns. I will then bestow all my grain and goods in them I will say to myself – thou hast much goods laid up for many years – enjoy the fruits of your labor “take thy ease… eat, drink and be merry” God Calls The Man “A Fool” (Lk. 12:20)

The Story Told… Why “A Fool” (Lk. 12:20)? All preparations for self is for naught Soul required of thee tonight Someone else will have your goods (Eccl. 2:18-19) So focused on rich life that he has lost focus of real life (Psm. 39:6)

Riches are a drawing power that can lead us away from God (I Tim. 6:9-10, Psm. 62:10) Having riches can give us a false sense of security – self-sufficient (Jms. 4:13-15) Wisdom: Treasure in Heaven with God, rather than treasure on earth without God (Matt. 6:19-20, Deut. 8:17-18, I Tim. 6:17-19, 2 Cor. 9:8)
