“Parable of the rich man whose land produced plentifully: 'What shall I do for I have nowhere to store my crops?'.”
Pastor Ed preaches from Luke 12 about being "built for more": guarding the heart against covetousness, recognizing that worth comes from being made in God's image (not possessions), and embracing stewardship. He contrasts storing up stuff with being "rich toward God," urging open hands, generous living, using all five forms of capital (financial, relational, educational, physical, spiritual) to serve others, and building a legacy that changes lives. The sermon includes practical church examples (disaster relief, neighborhood campuses), an invitation to serve and a call to faith.
“parable of the man who builds bigger barns — "you're full... your soul leaves tonight" (the rich fool)”
Using Acts 19 (Ephesus) and Luke's teaching, the sermon shows how the gospel reshapes social and economic life, diagnosing the heart issues behind financial behavior (fear, desire/lust, pride) and giving practical spiritual and tactical guidance for stewardship: start giving, prioritize generosity (give-save-spend), get counsel for debt, and remember that distrust of leaders doesn't excuse failing as stewards.
“The rich fool never spoke to another man, yet God judged the conversation in his heart.”
Bishop-elect Tomi Arayomi exposes the spirit of Leviathan as the hidden driving force behind modern 'exposure' culture and toxic leadership fallout. He contrasts dealing with surface-level attacks (snakes on the ground) with confronting the principalities that send them, calls the church to humility, covenant faithfulness and prayer, and outlines the seven heads of Leviathan that produce pride, twisted truth, slander and division.
“Parable of the Rich Fool: a man stores up possessions and God says 'this very night your life will be required of you.'”
A sermon on the Parable of the Rich Fool that warns against identifying ourselves with possessions, reminds believers that earthly resources are temporary, and calls Christians to steward what God gives for the blessing of others rather than hoarding it for self. The speaker uses personal stories and practical questions to challenge listeners to trade obsession with wealth for trust in God and generosity toward people.
