The Chapel at Sherwood Shores

This sermon clearly shows that the American dream is really the sin of covetousness. It is worth noting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31 in response to this sin of covetousness known as the American dream.

There are numerous Bible verses which talk about how temporal earthly life will vanish away. This sermon is literally a death sentence to the American Dream. Then again, all of those Bible verses like 1 John 2:15-17 which speak of the temporal vanities of the world disappearing are a death sentence to the American Dream. Also worth noting Matthew 16:24-28, Mark 8:34-38, and Luke 9:23-27 as well as Luke 16:19-31 and James 4:13-17. Trying to "save" your earthly life only means that you will lose it, but losing your life for The Sake of Jesus means that you will find it.
