Take your Bibles and turn to Luke's Gospel account of the Lord Jesus Christ, chapter 12. Reading there today from verse 13 to verse 21. Luke 12, 13 to 21, we'll stand for the reading of God's Word. Verse 13 says, And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness, for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do? Because I have no room where to bestow my fruits. And he said, this will I do. I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years. Take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, thou fool, This night thy soul shall be required of thee. Then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. Our Heavenly Father, we're thankful this morning again that we have thy word. Thankful that thou hast been gracious to us and thou hast preserved thy word from this generation and forever. We're thankful that we don't have to be amongst those who are today wondering where thy word is. They pick and choose that which sounds good, which tickles their ears, but they're not interested in the truth. Pray for them, Father, that they would see the need to humble themselves and to realize that the true God has given us his word and that he does not change his word. We're thankful that because of that, we can know how to build our lives. Help us as we look into these verses. If there's someone today who is still chasing after dollars, Thinking that they need to impress their neighbors and others with what they have, they would see the importance of knowing Thee, trusting in Thee, and wanting to follow Thee. May Thy will be accomplished as we look at these verses, we pray in Jesus' name. Amen. You may be seated. Title of the message this morning is materialism over spirituality. Materialism over spirituality. It tells us there in verse 13, it says, and one of the company said unto him, master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me. Generally, we know from the Old Testament that when a father was expecting to die soon, he would call his family around him and he would lay out the blessings that he wanted to bestow upon them, the things that they could have. In Old Testament teaching, the oldest son was to get a larger portion of the father's things as compared to the rest of the children. And the rest was divided by the others. So they didn't have a will necessarily the way we do it today. And it wouldn't always be that the father, because if the father was not thinking that he was close to the end, he wouldn't be calling his family in. And sometimes a death can come rather suddenly. So there's no opportunity then to call the family in. But here in this case, we're not sure what the issue was, but we know that this man, he's not happy with his inheritance. So he's a very greedy man. Because one of the things that we need to understand in life is that it really doesn't matter. Your parents don't owe you anything. When your parents die, you should not be thinking, well, there's going to be an inheritance. I'm going to get this amount of money or close to this amount of money. You shouldn't be thinking that way. Anything that your parents give you is a gift. And that's the way you should leave it. And so in a family, there are people with differing ideas. If you are the only Christian in your family, you know that your rest of your family is not thinking the same that you do. They have a different view of things than you should have. And that's important. So in a family, when the parents die, and it comes time to divide up what they have, then the Christian in the family definitely should not be concerned about making sure that he gets his fair share. You don't have a fair share. It's a gift. And if you are only given a certain amount and you think you should have more, so what? If your brothers and sisters want more of it, then don't fight over it. So in this text, this man, he comes to Jesus and he complains to him. He said, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto him, man who made me a judge or a divider over you. So our first point is who made Jesus a judge? Well, the fact is he is the judge. But not in regard to these things. Doesn't matter to Jesus, because Jesus knew and we need to understand that when we die, we take nothing with us. So how much do you want to accumulate while you're here? Because when you're gone, others are going to have to deal with that. And in our world today, if you don't make out a will and you die, the government takes a bigger portion than if you have a will. The government is very greedy. They never have enough. because it's not their money, and so they spend it like as if there's no limit to it. So they never have enough. So it is important in this world in which we live to have a will, because you don't want the government to have it, or maybe you do, but I don't want the government to have any more of my money than they have to have because they don't know how to spend it. And when they spend it, they spend it on foolish things. like climate change and like the murder of unborn children and like socialism and teaching in the schools that a boy can be a girl and a girl can be a boy. I don't want my money to go for that kind of junk. So I'm going to do what I can to limit the amount that the government can take from me. But this man is not concerned about that. He's just concerned that he has some of the inheritance from his father. And so Jesus challenges this man in regard to what he's coming to Jesus for. He's not coming to Jesus to know how to be saved and to understand salvation like Nicodemus came to Jesus. He's coming to Jesus because he's greedy. In verse 15 it says, And he said unto him, Take heed and beware of covetousness. For a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. So when you die and your children, your wife, if you're the husband, you die before your wife does, they open the will and they look at what you had, what you'd saved up, And in the secular mind, oh, that guy didn't save very much. He wasn't a very good steward. That's how the world looks at it. But Jesus tells this man and he tells the company because it tells one of the company in verse 13. So there's a number of people that are here with this man. Jesus is addressing the man, but he's also talking to the people that are there with that man. So he says, take heed and beware of covetousness. Covetousness is wanting what doesn't belong to you. It's somebody else's, but you want it. And as I mentioned already, the father's wealth does not necessarily belong to the children. Generally in a home, that's how it goes, because the father wants to help the children. And so he makes it so that when he's gone, whatever he had, he divides it amongst the children. He wants to help them. But the greatest need that a man has is spiritual. So the greatest thing that a father can pass on to his children is a testimony of salvation and of walking with God. showing the family while he's alive, what does it mean to be a Christian? What are the blessings of walking with God? What is the hope of that man? You know, that the children can look at their father when he dies and they can look at that and they can see a man who had a testimony that he loved God. Because those children need to know how to love God. They need to know how to walk with God. They need to see how God provides. And so it's very important. So Jesus cautioned this man here, warned him and warned the company that was there. Man's life consisted not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. So be careful in how much energy you put into the things that you have and the things that you want in this world. And if you're sacrificing the truth for those things, you're a loser. It doesn't matter how much money you have. Apparently, Charlie Kirk was worth about $12 million when he died. Apparently, his wife is worth about $9 million. So he left that all behind. He had two mansions that he had bought recently, and the one he had for sale, I don't know, maybe it's sold already, but he was investing in the things of this world. His wife was investing in different things as well. So they had possessions, but what do they leave for those little children? What does she have as she continues to raise those little children that they have? And the most important thing, as we're going to see in this passage, is to be rich toward God. So the second point we have here is a greedy farmer. A greedy farmer. So Jesus often spoke in parables. And here it says, he spake a parable unto them, saying, the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, what shall I do because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, this will I do. I will pull down my barns and build greater. And there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, soul thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thy knees eat drink and be merry so this man was greedy but we see here in this account that there came a time in his life where he figured he had more than he needed so he wasn't continually chasing after things there are people today they're older farmers already They could retire, they don't, and that's okay, but they're never satisfied. They always want more, more land, more crops, more bins, and so on. And so Jesus illustrated here the problem. This man was already rich. It says, the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully. So God has been blessing this man. This man doesn't know God, but God has been blessing him and he's giving him another good year. He's already rich, but now he's got this bountiful crop that he's taken off. So this man, as it tells us in verse 17, he thought within himself. This man can't see very far, he's blind. He's only looking at himself. What am I going to do with this bounty that I have? No recognition here that the bounty that he had came from God. It's just a matter of what am I going to do with this bounty that I have? So it says, what shall I do because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? Now, what is the purpose of a farmer? His purpose is to grow crops to sell to the world. Sell to his neighbors, sell to the store, to sell. That's what he's doing it for. He's growing crops to feed other people. Yes, he needs to get something back for it because it costs him money to grow it. So that's why he sells it. He may give, he may know of some poor person that can't afford it, and he may decide, I'm going to give that person a bag of wheat or a bag of potatoes or whatever it is. That's his choice. But that's the purpose of a farmer. It's not just to increase his own wealth from year to year. A farmer should be a farmer because he wants to help to feed other people. That's his purpose. And the problem today is that there are so many farmers, just like in other industries, so many farmers that it's all about how much money can I make. So that's how they decide which crop they're going to grow. They're going to grow granola because they can make more money off of canola. They're going to grow corn because there's a market for corn this year. They're gonna grow wheat because I can make more money off of that. So farmers oftentimes today are not growing their crops to feed the people, but they're looking at how much money can I get back. Barley isn't grown much in this area. A lot of barley is grown, it's called malt barley. What's it grown for? To make beer, to make other liquors. Does that help anybody? No. But why do they grow malt barley? Because they can make more money off of malt barley than they can off of feed barley. So the farmers that are growing malt barley are not concerned about feeding people. They're concerned about their pocketbook. Corn. There's a great increase in corn production. Why is that? Is it because they're growing it to feed people? Are they taking that corn and making cornflakes from it? Are they making cornmeal from that so you can bake your muffins and so on? No. The reason that more corn is being grown, the reason the price of corn is higher, is because corn is being used to make alcohol. not for drinking, but to mix with the gasoline that you're burning in your car. So that's why there's been an increase in corn production in the last number of years, because the government is using that to turn into alcohol to stop using so much fossil fuels. And so that's the way it is. Canola, there's been a big market for canola because China buys a lot of Canadian canola. China this year has put 100% tariff on Canadian canola because China's upset with Canada. So they're punishing Canada. So the Saskatchewan government is right now, they're planning and they may be there already going to China to try to persuade the Chinese government to change their mind. But you see, we're not growing crops so much anymore because of the need of our local area, like Canada even, but we're looking at world markets and we're looking at how much money can I make off of this. So this farmer here is a picture of a lot of farmers today as well, thinking within himself, I've got no room to bestow all this that I have grown. No God involved here in his mind. So in verse 18, he's got a solution. He's going to tear down his barn. So this farmer is not only greedy, but he's wasteful. So instead of tearing down the barns, why wouldn't he just build another barn? No, he's not going to do that. He's going to tear down his barn. He says, I will pull down. Doesn't say I'm going to take it apart and reuse the lumber. He's going to pull it down and he's going to build bigger. And then he says, there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. So this farmer is greedy and wasteful. He's already got barns. He could build another barn if he needed to, but he's not going to do that. He's going to tear them down. He's going to build bigger. Now I heard this week of a farmer who had a wheat bin. And I guess either he didn't set his auger up properly when he put the wheat into that bin, or the grain was a bit tough when he took it off. But anyway, with that wheat in the bin, the bin started to collapse. So now he's got to move all that grain out of that bin and put it somewhere else. So I don't know what the whole situation is there, but I know enough about that farmer that that farmer is a very greedy farmer. Maybe he was in too big of a hurry setting up his bin. And when it was augering into that bin, it was augering too much to one side, not in the middle. So when it was spreading out, it was more on one side than the other. And the bin couldn't hold it, couldn't take the pressure. And so it collapsed. That's a problem. That can happen. But it's important that you set that auger up so that when the grain is falling into that bin, it's falling in the middle. So that as it falls, it'll spread out evenly to all sides. And if the grain is a little bit tough, then you have to be careful because if the grain is tough, it doesn't flow the way that it should, and it might flow to the one side and sit there, not spread out enough, and it gives you problems. So this farmer in our text, he's gonna tear down his barn, he's gonna pull them down, he's gonna build new barn. So he's got an expense on his hands here. He has to build more storage. That's gonna cost him. It's gonna cost him time, it's gonna cost him labor, it's gonna cost materials. Because he's gotta buy wood, he's gotta buy the nails to put this barn up. So there's an expense involved here. Whereas if he would sell that grain, he wouldn't have that problem. And it wasn't that there wasn't a market for the grain. He's just greedy. He's got a plan. Verse 19, we read about that plan. And I will say to my soul, soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years. Take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. You see, in our world too, once a farmer gets big enough, once he's wealthy enough, he doesn't have to sell his crop every year. He's got enough money in the bank, so he can sit on that crop and hope that the price is gonna go up. So he creates an artificial shortage. And so the person who's dependent on that farmer's grain He has to pay more for it, not because there's a shortage of grain, but because the farmers are greedy and they're sitting on it and not selling it. So yes, there needs to be good business sense. You don't want to flood the market and make the crop worth nothing. But on the other hand, the farmer has to understand why he's farming. He's farming to feed people. So he's not going to try to impoverish people, but he wants to help people to be able to live. That's his calling. His calling is to be a farmer. So as a farmer, he should be concerned about helping other people. He wants to live too, yes. But Jesus talks about here, this problem of the farmer is not rich toward God. And that's the danger today as well. That the farmer needs to look at, or the mechanic, or the welder, or the trucker, or whatever employment you have, you need to understand why are you doing this? And the Bible tells us if you don't want to work, you shouldn't eat. So that's one reason why you're doing it. You're doing it because you want to eat. You need food. And the Bible says if you don't want to work, you shouldn't eat. So you want to be lazy? You shouldn't eat. You should starve. We would have a much better country in Canada if we didn't have the welfare system that we have. People that don't want to work shouldn't eat. So those people that you see on the boulevard when you go into the city with their sign begging for money, they're not worth a penny. They shouldn't get any money. If they're well enough to stand on that boulevard with a sign, they're well enough to go and work. And so it's foolish to give them money, and yet a lot of people do. Some of those people, they dress in rags when they go out begging, but they actually live in very nice houses, because they're doing quite well begging off of other people. So our system is corrupt because we live in a godless country. But Jesus here is talking about how things should be. And that's how Christians should look at things too. we should look at how things should be. So as we deal with people, we need to deal with people, what should they be doing? So instead of giving that person who's out there begging money, give them a tract, speak to them about their need to be saved. And if they would get saved, they wouldn't be out there begging, they would find employment. And so this man here is very self-centered, And in part three here, he's a foolish farmer. He's a greedy farmer, but he's also a foolish farmer. Verse 20. So who gets it when you die? You don't. You have no control over it. Doesn't matter how much you have. You die, you have no control over it. You can write out a will, you don't have control of how that will is going to be read. So, if you have a family where some of them are greedy, maybe all of them are greedy, but some of them maybe, And the will is opened and read, and somebody says, I don't like that. I think I should have gotten more. I'm going to hire a lawyer and fight this will because I want more. So who gets the money now? Not that greedy family member, but the lawyer. Because it's expensive to hire a lawyer. And the lawyer, he's in it to make money too. So is he going to try and work as fast as he can? No. He's gonna try to drag it out in the courts. The more time he can spend, the more money he can make off of your greed. So this man was a fool because he's looking at himself and what can he gain? And so Jesus says in this parable, God says to this fool, this night, thy soul shall be quiet of thee. You're going to die today. You haven't had a chance to build the barns yet. You've got this abundance. You haven't had a chance to build the barns yet, but you're going to die today. So then, whose shall these things be? So you notice there, this night shall thy soul be required of thee. When a person dies, their soul goes somewhere. And their soul is under God's control. And God knows your soul and he knows my soul. He knows whether our souls have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ or whether we are lost. He knows that. The soul that is not saved goes immediately to hell. Immediately. That person chose not to believe in God, like this man here, chose not to believe in God, chose to live for this world as God was materialism, things. I want a nicer house, I want more clothes, I want to keep up with the Joneses, I want a better car, I want more trips, so on, just things. This night, thy soul shall be required of thee. We are answerable to God, whether we want to believe in him or not, we're answerable to God. So this man, was a fool because he had not taken into consideration where was he going to spend eternity. He didn't believe in eternity. He was just living for the now. And that's the way a lot of people live, just for the now. They're just concerned about now. So in verse 21, Jesus says, so is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God. So in verse 20, go back there, the last part of that verse, because this man was going to die that night, then whose shall those things be which thou has provided? He had no more say in it. Now it was up to whoever. If he had a wife, if he had sons, daughters, it was up to them now. Not up to him. So he lost control. But his soul, that was the thing. His soul, where was it going? You see, the Bible tells us you can't buy your way into heaven. And there are a lot of people that live that way, as if you can. There are a lot of people that live their life and they think that the Catholics, for instance, They think that the more money they pay to the priest after their loved one dies, the quicker they can get that person through purgatory. There is no purgatory. And so all that money goes to the priest who gives some of it to the Catholic religion. That's why they can have their fancy buildings. That's why they can have golden vessels inside those buildings. That's why the priests can live so well, even though they oftentimes try to act as if they're very poor, because they want more of your money, but they're not poor. Even so-called Mother Teresa, she was a millionaire. She had a lot of money when she died, but she acted like she was a poor person living penny to penny. She was a deceiver. And many people were willing to give to the Catholic religion because of the way she looked. They thought she was such a pure servant of God. She was a wicked woman. She knows better now, but it's too late. But you see, we need to understand that your soul is far more precious than money. And so you need to take care of your soul. Where is your soul going when you die? And Jesus points out, so is he that loveth, layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God. If you're only concerned about this life, if you're only concerned about what you can get here, if that's your main concern, if that's where you're, focuses, that's where your energy is spent, you better be careful. Because if you're more concerned about this life and the things that you can get here, not about eternity, what happens when you die? Now again, we don't earn heaven. But this man, it says again, we go back to verse 17, he thought within himself, So it wasn't that this man, that it was only his money that was the issue here, but it was his heart. His heart was not right with God. And that's the issue in verse 20. This night thy soul shall be required of thee. So this man was careless and not considering the need of his soul. but he was looking at this world. And he was thinking, I've got all this treasure, I'm gonna sit back and just take it easy. I'll sell enough grain to buy groceries, to take that next trip that I wanna go on, to buy some new clothing, but I'm not going to sell it to feed the poor. I'm going to hang on to what I have, and just take it easy. I'll have a servant so I can have someone to bring me that next burger that I want or that bottle of wine I want to drink and so on. I'll just have servants for that, but I'm just gonna live it up. And there's a danger if we're not rich to our God. So there are people who count their pennies. And they make sure that if they're going to tithe, they're going to count and calculate it out to the penny. And yes, the tithe is 10%. But if you're concerned, that concern that you're going to give 10% and not a penny over, your heart's not in the right place. Bible says we need to be rich toward God. And so While there are religions out there that are stealing your money, they're convincing you to give more and more and more, you also need to be careful in your own heart. Are you willing to give? Can you see the value of the preaching of the gospel? And that should be uppermost in your mind, that you're willing to give to the work of God because you want to see the gospel spread. You want to see people coming to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior. You want to help others to know the truth. That ought to be a concern to every born-again Christian. In fact, it will be a concern to every born-again Christian. But the world just looks at it for what's in it for me. What can I gain? That's all the world thinks about. Those of us that are saved need to help the world to see there are things more important. And so don't be concerned about how much you have in the bank. Be concerned about your spiritual well-being. And if you're concerned about that, if that's where your treasure is, if that's what you're interested in, God's gonna help you to be able to look after the material needs that you have. He may let you get rich. He may, but you may not get rich, doesn't matter. Live for the Lord, put him first, and make sure that you're laying aside that treasure for your children, that they can look back on your life and say, my parents didn't leave me much in material things, but they certainly had a good testimony of serving God, they loved God. And they helped me to see the importance of loving God too. They showed me that loving God is not a grievous thing. That I can get by quite well if I love God, first of all. That's the kind of testimony God wants us to be able to leave for our children, as well as for others. And so the challenge in this text here today is be careful. Be careful what your goal is, materialism or spirituality. And be careful not to put materialism above spirituality. Live for God, serve Him, make Him your goal, make Him your priority, and show others the importance of knowing the true God. And if you're listening and they're not saved, again, that's the place to start. Ask God to forgive you. Ask God to save you. Because that's the most important thing. To know his peace in your heart and live for him. Let's pray together. Heavenly Father, we're thankful this morning again that we have thy word. Thankful again for the truthfulness of thy word. And how important it is for us to see the things that are really important in life. Knowing thee. memorizing scripture, being able to help others to know the truth as well. Showing them that even when a person dies and there's others in the family that are grieving that loss, that we can help them. We can be a true comfort to them and help them to see that there is hope beyond the grave. And if that person had died, if they truly knew thee as their God and Savior, They're in heaven. They're free from bondage. They're not suffering from anything anymore in this world. They're free. And so that's the most important thing, to know Thee, to live for Thee. We pray for each one that's listening today, that each one would see the importance of setting their priorities in order. That they're dealing with the need of their soul, first of all. and then able to help others in that area as well. We're thankful that we have a God who knows of our physical needs and supplies them. So we don't need to be worried about, where's my next meal going to come from? What we need to be concerned about, not worried about, but concerned about is our spiritual well-being. Help us to allow thee to direct us in these things that we can know thy blessing in our hearts and lives. We pray in Jesus name. Amen.
