The document summarizes a Bible passage where Jesus tells a parable about a rich man who had a very successful harvest. The man decides to tear down his barns and build bigger ones to store his excess crops and goods, believing he has enough wealth to retire. That night, God tells the man that his life will be taken from him, and asks who will receive his stored wealth, calling the man a fool. The moral is that one should not store up riches only for themselves but should also be rich toward God.
This is a study of Jesus as the reason for the season. I focus on the positive aspect but there is a negative side as well for much of Christmas celebration has nothing to do with Jesus.

Believing is not easy. Jesus reminds us in this passage that He is from God, His teaching is from God, and that He is going to God. In this passage we find three types of responses to Him. One is from the authorities who oppose Him and want to kill Him. Some of the people see Him as a false teacher and others see him as good. Important lessons about the basis for our belief are found in this text.
Life is meaningless if we continue to chase after the world.... the rich fool was scolded by Jesus not because he was rich, but because he was focusing on amassing wealth, rather than blessing others....

One of the most devastating of life storms are financial storms. We cannot prevent or fully control these storms. Things like recessions are the result of national policies and a fluctuating business cycle. That being said, there are things that we can do to position ourselves to survive such storms. The Bible is filled with advice on how to handle money and avoid debt. In this sermon we will explore greed and debt and then consider some very practical steps that we can take.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.
