Sermon Point about Greed: Greed can blind us to the needs of others, lead to unfulfilled desires, and ultimately alienate us from God's purpose for our lives.
-
Greed causes us to overlook the blessings we already have, as seen in Ecclesiastes 5:10, "Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless."
-
Greed leads to destructive behavior and discontent; 1 Timothy 6:9-10 warns, "Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil."
-
Greed contradicts the call to generosity and community, as stated in Acts 20:35, "It is more blessed to give than to receive," reminding us that true fulfillment comes from serving others rather than accumulating wealth for ourselves.
