Sermons About Greed
The Scarecrow in the Melon Patch
Jeremiah wasn't just a bullfrog, he was the weeping prophet of God. Who was this man and why was he weeping? What impact did he have when he was alive? How does this apply today? There are scarecrows (idols) in all our lives that don't satisfy, but Christ Jesus will fulfill all our needs.

Enemies of the Kingdom
GREED DISTRACTS US FROM PURSUING A LIFE OF MEANING IN THE KINGDOM. WORRY DISSIPATES OUR ENERGY FOR PURSUING A LIFE OF MEANING IN THE KINGDOM. GREED & WORRY DIVULGE THE PURSUIT OF LIFE ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN AND PRIORITIES OF THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD, NOT THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS. GREED & WORRY REFLECT AN ATTEMPT TO DIRECT OUR OWN LIVES RATHER THAN DEPEND ON GOD. THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM IS THAT WE CAN BE DELIVERED FROM GREED & WORRY TO A LIFE OF GENEROSITY AND FAITH BECAUSE OF WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED FROM OUR FATHER.

Managing Priorities
Money has a dehumanizing function of measuring value, and it therefore leads people to pursue the goal of having instead of being. Jesus reveals money as power. Power also has great spiritual value, so money and wealth can be used for great good or for evil. This is one of the most "in your face" scriptures in the New Testament about the consequences of wrong priorities.
