Focused Series

Focused Living Properly Values Earthly Wealth

First Reading: Ecclesiastes 1:1-2, 12-14; 2:18-26. King Solomon, the teacher, learned by experience the limited value of earthly possessions.

Second Reading: Colossians 3:1-11. If life does not consist in the abundance of one’s possessions, then of what does life consist? Paul tells us that in baptism we died and were raised with Christ.

Gospel and Sermon Text: Luke 12:13-21. Which Type of Rich Person Are You?

The one who depends on earthly things? How focused are you on money and things that you have?

The one who depends on God? These are the kind of people who want to change whatever has been wrong in our lives in order to thank God for his incredible eternal generosity, who care about how we treat our worldly wealth because we know that he has made us rich now and forever.
