Luke 12 How to be truly rich

'Be on your guard against all kinds of greed,' Jesus says.

'Life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.' 

Yet this message is the antithesis of modern consumeristic culture. Jesus had strong words about what true wealth consists of. To one man who approached him, Jesus told the parable of the rich fool, which could be summed up by the No Fear T-shirt slogan: He who dies with the most toys...still dies.'

So what does it mean to be truly rich? What do we do with wealth? How do we respond to the looming reality of our own death? And how can we be rich towards God?
