In America the average person owns 19 pairs of shoes. How can we get rid of greed and clutter in our hearts to make more room for God?

Notes and Next Steps
Luke 12:13-21 +  Part 11 of the series "The Parables of Jesus: What's Your Story?"

God has blessings he’s just waiting to give us, but we’re not ready for them.

“Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” (Luke 12:15, see Colossians 3:5,6)

The real measure of our wealth is how much we would be worth if we lost our money.

“The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest.” (Luke 12:16)

How much has Jesus left us? Everything.
