Parable of the Rich Fool

A guy works hard, has success in his business, and has the opportunity to expand his business. As he does this, he is able to save more for retirement, while at the same time, building a bigger empire. This is the story of the American Dream. But, may be that what we call the "American Dream," could actually be filled with values that run opposite those of the Kingdom. The world encourages wanting more and more, but Jesus warns that this is coveting and that our lives must be based on something greater than our possessions.
