The Parable of the Rich Fool

One Church | Houston TX

Welcome to today’s episode where Pastor Ken Senchal explores The Parable of the Rich Fool from Luke 12:13-21, one of Jesus’ most profound teachings about wealth, greed, and the true meaning of life. In this message, Pastor Ken unpacks the story of a rich man who, despite his material success, misses the point of what really matters: being "rich toward God."

We live in a culture that often measures success by what we own, but Jesus warns that life isn’t about the abundance of our possessions. Pastor Ken dives into three key lessons from this parable: 1. The illusion of control—how wealth can give a false sense of security. 2. The danger of selfishness—why serving money instead of God leaves us empty. 3. Living with an eternal perspective—how we can shift our focus from temporary gains to lasting, spiritual riches.

In this episode, you’ll hear practical steps on how to manage God’s blessings wisely, cultivate a heart of generosity, and refocus your priorities with eternity in mind. Whether you’re wrestling with financial decisions, feeling burdened by materialism, or just looking for biblical wisdom to navigate life’s challenges, this message is for you.

Join us as Pastor Ken shares how we can live beyond the momentary, trusting God with every aspect of our lives and investing in what truly matters—our relationship with Him and the way we serve others.
