  • Summary

  • As a Christian retirement might be in your future. You should know there are right and wrong ways to retire. The Parable of the Rich Fool is one of the clearest places in Scripture discussing retirement. In Luke 12:19 the Rich Fool said, “You have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.” Sadly, the Rich Fool’s words capture what comes to mind for many people when they think of retiring. My hope is to prevent any of us from making the same mistake! Here's Part II: The Rich Man Was a Fool Because…(Luke 12:16-21).

Sermon Notes for Christian Retirement the Right Way The title of this morning’s sermon is, “Retiring the Right Way.” We were in a series on covetousness and contentment. Now we’re returning to Luke and I’d like to back up to verse 13 to briefly review and get the context for the parable we’ll be studying… In verses 1-12 Jesus was teaching on some very heavy topics: Being forgiven versus being unforgivenGoing to hell versus going to heaven Right in the middle of this, look at verse 13 to see what happened… Luke 12:13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” The man looks pretty bad b/c he interrupted Jesus AND told Him what to do. Jesus turned this into a teaching moment…look at verse 14… Luke 12:14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?” 15a And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, It might look like Jesus didn’t help the man, but He did! The man wanted Jesus to help him financially, but Jesus helped him spiritually by revealing the covetousness in his heart.If Jesus gave the man what he wanted, it would’ve hurt him, b/c it would’ve been feeding his covetousness. Jesus said, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness.” I think we took this warning seriously,
