About this listen

What are we really living for? In this powerfulmessage, Dr. Gene Mims unpacks Jesus’ parable of the rich fool — a man who thought he had everything until God called him home. It’s a sobering reminder to hold loosely to what we have and live for what truly matters: eternity.

🗝️ Key Topics

  • (1:39) Don't let greed distort your purpose.
  • (5:17) Everything we have is from God, not ourselves.
  • (7:54) Our time on earth is limited -- eternity is what matters most.
  • (21:11) True freedom comes from seeking God's kingdom, not possessions.


📖 Key Scriptures

  • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Luke 12:13-21
  • Matthew 6:25-34


💬Quote from the Episode

  • "In death, the truth comes out and we can live today foolishly believing that all of life is just the life that we know it and fashion it and live for it and expend a lot. And while we have to do all of those things, if we don't take care of eternity, we haven't taken care ofanything."
