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.

Colossians 3:18-4:1 -Paul closes his letter by showing how following Jesus transforms our everyday relationships—with spouses, children, parents, employees, and employers—and calls us to care for one another with kindness.
Colossians 3:12-17-Sometimes Christianity gets known for what we don’t do. But Paul points us toward something better: how we live, love, and treat one another. What marks a genuine Christian community? It all starts with who God is and how deeply He loves us.
Colossians 3:5-11-Paul points to two areas that reveal who we are at the deepest level: sex and speech. The path to health and freedom isn’t harsh rules or self-focus, but staying close to Jesus, knowing him and growing in him. Christianity isn’t harsh rules; it’s a vibrant friendship.
Colossians 2:20-3:4 - Religious baggage can pull us in all kinds of directions—from expecting God to fit our preferences to trying to earn His approval. Paul’s message to the Colossians was simple: stop guessing what God wants and get back to the core of Christianity—Jesus.
Colossians 2:13-19 - Humans have a problem that we can’t save ourselves from—not through secular programs or religious systems. The good news of Jesus is that on the cross, Jesus dealt with it all. In him we are alive, forgiven, and free!
Colossians 2:8-12 - Paul warns the Colossian church not to trade the freedom found in Christ for religion or spiritual experiences. Jesus is more than enough.
