The Rich Fool Made Simple

by Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

When a man asked Jesus to settle an inheritance, the Son of God and Son of Man answered with a parable: a rich man's barns overflowed, he said to his soul, take your ease, and God said, you fool, this night your soul shall be required of you. This Scripture-first, Trinitarian teaching walks Luke 12:13-21 verse by verse — covetousness, stewardship, the Father's care, watching servants, and what it truly means to be rich toward God — with life application, reflection questions, and a closing prayer.
