How to Increase Your Net Worth?

One time a guy interrupted Jesus while he was teaching some folks. He was greatly upset. Apparently, his older brother had some property of his and he was planning on sharing. You can imagine this ticked the man off. So he asked Jesus for some advice. Actually, he told Jesus to tell his brother to share. Sort of like when the younger brother complains to mom because the older sister won't share the candy. You can read the story for yourself in Luke 12:13-15

Jesus wasn't much help. Instead of giving the guy a hand, Jesus called him out. He told him and everyone listening to watch out for being greedy. Some advice that was???

Would you spot greed if you saw it?
*Sure it shows up when someone steals something large and it makes the headlines. But what about when....

• A co-worker steals credit for a group project done with your input?
• Someone consistently promotes themselves on social media 'cuz they crave the attention and desire for others to know how successful they are?
• Someone buys more toilet paper than is necessary?
• Someone dominates a group or round table discussion?
• Someone regularly gossips or criticizes others so they can assert their moral superiority?

All are more subtle forms of greed to which Jesus warns us against

Jesus said "Beware of the many faces of greed for in the end a person's life, or worth, is not found in the things they own or how much they make or the size of their 401k"

Instead let us be rich towards God! Join me Sunday as we explore how to build our 401k in Heaven!
