Takedown Week 2: Greed | Breaking Free from “More”

Greed is sneaky.

It doesn’t usually look obvious.

It hides behind words like wisdom, planning, and success.

And most of the time…we don’t even realize it’s there.

In Week 2 of our Takedown series, we’re exposing greed for what it really is—and learning how to take it down God’s way.

In this message, you’ll discover:

💡 What greed really is (it’s not just about money—it’s a heart issue)

⚠️ Why greed is so hard to recognize in ourselves

🔥 The warning Jesus gives in Luke 12

💭 How fear quietly fuels a “more for me” mindset

🙌 Why generosity is the key to breaking greed’s grip

Key Truth:

Greed says, “More for me = better for me.”

But Jesus says, “Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

Through the parable of the rich fool, we see what happens when we store up everything for ourselves—but miss what matters most.

Because at the end of the day…

You can gain everything and still lose your soul.

How do we take greed down?

➡️ Shift from owner to steward

➡️ Give first, not last

➡️ Build a lifestyle of consistent generosity

Generosity doesn’t just help others— it retrains your heart.

You don’t defeat greed by feeling bad about it…

You defeat it by building habits that break its power.

Ask yourself:

👉 “God, what is the more for?”

👉 “Am I storing up for myself…or being rich toward God?”
