The 7 Deadly Sins – Week 7 | Greed

The holidays are coming, and with them the familiar tug: a family table crowded with gratitude — and sometimes a simmering fight over money, inheritance, or who gets what. Many of us insist we’re not greedy, yet feel lonelier or emptier as possessions pile up. This sermon names that awkward truth: wealth can divide families, insulate us from neighbors, and even hollow out our own sense of worth. Using Jesus’ parable of the rich fool, the message shows how greed fractures relationships and why the real remedy isn’t a bigger barn but a different kind of richness. Hear how Jesus refuses to be a divider and instead stands as mediator, how being “rich toward God” reorients our priorities, and why generosity connects what hoarding severs. Expect clear, practical shifts for how to use what you have for others — and discover why the thing you think will fill you often leaves you empty.
