Pastor Bill Bush · May 20, 2019
Drawing from Jesus' parable of the rich fool in Luke 12, this sermon challenges the myth that the goal of parenting (and life) is to teach children to pursue worldly success. The pastor argues that success is not the enemy of significance, but it is the number one distraction from it. A life built on 'kingdom first' — seeking a rich relationship with God above all else — is the only path to true significance. Parents are called to model this themselves: serving others, giving generously, and pursuing heart transformation over mere behavior change, so their children can follow the same path.
