The Parable of the Rich Fool provides the inspiration for Dr Kregg Hood’s newest book, Rich Toward God. Jesus’ story about a wealthy business owner who lost it all is not just an ominous warning against materialism.
In applying the parable, Kregg identified four themes which counteract the four tragic mistakes of the rich man and his faulty foundation to creating wealth. Taken together, we discover a powerful four-step strategy for becoming Rich Toward God:
- Turn to the Lord – as we deepen our trust in him as our complete Source we will also experience him as Sustainer through both good and bad times
- Put God to the Test – this step shows us how to grow in our faith about the results of giving “tithes and offerings”
- Advance the Kingdom Every Day – how to make giving a ministry that focuses on changing lives every day
- Pursue contentment – learning how to be more thankful, to be comfortable with “enough”, and to make enjoyment a lifestyle
Rich Toward God also includes many fresh, practical insights for the head and the heart. Other topics include,
- “God Is On Your Side”
- “The Goodness of God”
- “The Faithfulness of God”
- “Why the Harvest is Delayed” (and what to do about it)
- “How to Wait on God”
- “Head, Hand, and Heart Giving”
- “Giving Appreciated Assets to Leave a Legacy”
- “Defeating a Spirit of Worry”
- “Spending Tips that Create Monthly Margin”
As with Take God at his Word and Escape the Debt Trap, Kregg has also developed a leader’s Guide and sample sermon series that can be used in tandem with a week-by-week study of the book. The sermons are:
- “Let the Lord Lead You”
- “Opening the Windows of Heaven”
- “Expect a Harvest”
- “What’s Going ON In Heaven”
