Luke 12:13-21
Message Questions:
- How much does it matter to you that things are fair? Are some matters more important than others—like how money gets spent or if a ref seems to be favouring one team over another?
- This guy wanted Jesus to “bring justice” to his situation. Why was Jesus not interested in helping out? Isn’t Jesus in favour of justice?
- Define greed. Why is greed so hard to self-detect? Are you able to see where you struggle with greed?
- Is there something that a community, like SPL, could do to protect ourselves from greed? Is the battle with greed one we fight alone or could we support each other?
- Read further into Luke 12. Jesus offers an alternative to greed. Go on a hunt (vv. 22-34) and find out what the alternative is.

Recent Sermons
Romans 12:1-2 - Jesus’ invitation is to follow him: to be with him, become like him, and do what he did. We surrender control to Jesus, resist the pattern of the world that shapes us, and rely on the power of the Holy Spirit for transformation.
Mark 1:16-18 -We begin our series on Practicing the Way—exploring how Jesus’ rhythms of prayer, fasting, solitude, and Sabbath invite ordinary people to grow in grace and intimacy with God
Acts 17:16-34 -Paul shares the hope of Jesus in everyday language, guiding seekers toward truth and showing where their search for God had gone astray.
Acts 13:1-5 -The first Christians had small groups! They knew, because Jesus modelled it, that we’re much better in groups than we are as individuals. The group that gathered in Antioch was diverse, zoned in on Jesus and figuring out how to be outward-facing. Your own group will want all that and more!
Acts 8:9-25 - Simon put on a good show (literally!), but his heart was full of bitterness. He wasn’t healthy and wasn’t taking the steps to be healthy. What about us today?
Acts 2:40-47 - As a church, we’re taking some time to talk about our vision and strategy. We’re hoping to add clarity to why and how we do what we do in this season.
