The Lie Of More

More cannot give us the life and security that only God can give us. The more you get, the more you want. In the first week of Enough: Finding Contentment in a World That Wants More, Pastor Dale Hester preaches from Luke 12, where a dispute over an inheritance interrupts Jesus' teaching. Greed isn't only about money. It can be more possessions, more attention, more influence, more power, more of our own opinion and more time used for me. Real, lasting satisfaction is found in one place and one person, and that person is Jesus Christ.

1. Life is more than what you own. Greed is not limited to the wealthy. It is the desire to make possessions the measure and foundation of life.

2. Having a lot can hide what you really need. When God blesses you, one of the greatest battles you'll have is forgetting about God.

3. Wealth cannot secure eternity. We are not owners but stewards, and a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.
