In this parable, the rich man died before he could use all that he had stored in his barns.
He
mistakenly believed that the wealth he had amassed was his alone.
Jesus viewed his attitude as a form of greed.
When you concentrate your efforts on amassing wealth and material things and ignore God’s plan for your resources, you violate one of His key principles—a God-honoring stewardship of property and possessions.
Jesus illustrates to His listeners that if you plan only for this life, you are heading for eternity empty-handed.

I. GREED IS BASIC TO HUMAN NATURE
#. the prophet Jeremiah recounts the persistent problem with the sin of greed that pervaded the culture of his day
* /“From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit.”/
(Jeremiah 6:13, NIV)
#. greed is still a persistent problem and pervades our culture
* ILLUS.
