Living Rich Toward God: Lessons from the Gospels

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 3-day study on the Gospels, focusing on the powerful teaching of Jesus found in Luke 12:13–21, commonly known as the parable of the Rich Fool. In this passage, Jesus offers a sobering warning about the danger of storing up earthly treasures while neglecting the eternal needs of the soul. Though wealth and possessions can provide comfort and security, they are ultimately temporary and cannot satisfy the deepest longings within us.

As we journey through this study, you will discover how the Gospels present a consistent message about what it means to be truly rich—from the heart, from a life connected to God, and not just from what one owns. Jesus calls us to examine where we place our trust and to consider how the pursuit of material wealth can sometimes blind us to God’s kingdom and purposes.

Through scripture reflection and devotional insights, this study invites you to reorient your life, storing up treasures in heaven by nurturing your soul. You’ll be encouraged to reflect on your own priorities with honesty and openness, and to grow in faith by embracing God’s provision and grace. Whether you are new to the Bible or have long been following Jesus, His teaching in the parable of the Rich Fool challenges us all to seek lasting riches that only God can provide. Let us open our hearts to the Spirit's guidance as we learn together how to live rich toward God.
