Killing Greed with the Gospel Gospel Conviction – Holy Spirit reveals sin. Gospel Hope – Holy Spirit shows us Jesus’ finished work. Gospel Faith – Holy Spirit prompts Spirit enabled and empowered response.

Colossians 3:5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness (greed), which is idolatry. Greed Defined Greed: a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (as money) than is needed.

Colossians 3:5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness (greed), which is idolatry. Wealth is not greed.

Colossians 3:5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness (greed), which is idolatry. Wealth is not greed. Greed is idolatry. Col 3:5 Greed blinds the idolater. Mt 6:19-24 Greed leads to ruin. Lk. 18, Mt 13:22, 1 Tim 6:9-10

How do we become generous? Am I greedy or generous? How much is enough? Hebrews 13:5 and 1 Timothy 6:6-8 Do I look for ways to bless others? How do I view the poor? How do I view the rich? How do we become generous?

2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.

1 Peter 1:17–19 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.

2 Corinthians 9:6–8 6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

Gospel Faith – Our Response Put Greed to Death – Repent/Forsake Confess to God – 1 John 1:9 Confess to Others – James 5:16 Put on Generosity – Be Generous Be intentionally generous. Mt. 6:33 Be sacrificially generous. 2 Cor. 8 Be generous regularly.
