Greed

Greed is the one sin almost nobody thinks applies to them. We picture billionaires, corrupt CEOs, and Wall Street, never ourselves. But when a man in Luke 12 interrupts Jesus with a family inheritance dispute, Jesus refuses to settle the argument and instead exposes a deeper problem: greed isn't really about how much you have, it's about what you're living for. Through the parable of the rich fool, a man who builds bigger barns so he can finally relax, only to die that very night, this message walks through three quiet ways greed gets a grip on a life that looks responsible from the outside.

We trade our worth for what we achieve, our security for what we build, and our satisfaction for the next thing we get. Whether it's wealth, career, or even a family schedule that slowly takes the center, the warning is the same: anything that takes the place only God was meant to hold will eventually fail to hold us. This one is for anyone who has been chasing "just a little more" and is starting to suspect it's never going to be enough.
