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
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.
Psalm 129 is a bit of a nasty Psalm! The writer has been oppressed and doesn’t hold back in expressing what that feels like. You might think being a believer means your troubles disappear, but that has never been the case. The good news is that God is neither blind nor indifferent to our struggles.
Psalm 131 - The Psalms of Ascent have it all: anguish, anger, encouragement, and wild joy. Psalm 131 is all about contentment. Where does contentment come from? What ruins it? What does it feel like? How can I be content in an age where marketing, social media and mirrors breed discontent?
Psalm 133 - The Psalms of Ascent were songs for the journey—worshippers sang them as they travelled together toward Jerusalem and the Temple. These Psalms give voice to the sorts of things that go through worshippers' hearts as they prepare to worship.
Psalm 104 is a song of praise that marvels at the beauty and order of God’s creation. From mountains to seas, seasons to creatures great and small, it reveals a world sustained by His power and care. This psalm invites us to stand in awe, give thanks, and consider our role as stewards of His handiwork.
