Series: Lies We Believe Sermon: I Am What I Have
Text: Luke 12:15-21 (NIV)

HOOK: Our worth is defined by our relationship with God, not by our material possessions.

INTRODUCTION: Every time we believe a lie, we empower the liar!

The Warning... 

“Then he said to them, ‘Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.’” — Luke 12:15 (NIV)

The Wealth of the Man... 

“And he told them this parable: ‘The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, “What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops?”’” — Luke 12:16-17 (NIV)

The Words of the Man... 

“Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink, and be merry.”’” — Luke 12:18-19 (NIV)

The Wisdom of God... 

“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’” — Luke 12:20 (NIV)

1. Life is more important than wealth.
2. Wealth doesn't determine worth.
3. Worth comes from God.

CONCLUSION: When you doubt your worth, just look at the cross.
