Luke 12:13-23
We have been talking about answers to key questions of life. And all of these answers to the key questions of life come from the gospel of Luke. These are parables that Jesus told that you will find only in the gospel according to Luke. So today we are going to be looking at Luke 12:13-21.

And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasu ...
