The Miser, The Mob, and The Messiah

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:7-16

Sermon Points:
1. The Lonely Miser
- Luke 12:13, 16-21
“Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” 16 And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, 17 and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ 18 And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”’ 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ 21 So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

2. The Helpful Companion
- 1 Corinthians 2:18-25

God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose… 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you…” nor again [can] the head [say] to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable… God has so composed the body… 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

3. The Unteachable King
