Slide 1: 

Have you ever looked forward to something?

Slide 2: 

This hard working farmer did too!

Slide 3: 

He was looking forward to a GOOD LONG REST.

Slide 4: 

No, not just a long lie in.

Slide 5: 

Nor the holiday of a lifetime.

Slide 6: 

He wanted to retire.

Slide 7: 

Not even having to lift his little finger in work again.

Slide 8: 

Dream on! No pension policies to be had in his day! 2,000 years ago in the land of Israel.

Slide 9: 

Yet he worked hard and put aside what he could.

Slide 10: 

That year everything came together. The weather was perfect for a bumper crop.

Slide 11: 

Our hard working farmer made the most of this.

Slide 12: 

Soon he realised that his barns were not going to hold his harvest.

Slide 13: 

So without the aid of a JCB he set about tearing down his old barns.

Slide 14: 

And, working all hours, he erected new, bigger barns.

Slide 15: 

Eventually the harvest was in. The barn doors were closed...

Slide 16: 

… it was PARTY TIME!

Slide 17: 

Stored away in his barns were enough riches for him to see out his days in luxurious retirement.

Slide 18: 

There would hardly have been a more content man going to bed that night .

Slide 19: 

Then it happened...

Slide 20: 

“FOOL!”

Slide 21: 

God said to him. “Tonight your soul is required of you.”

Slide 22: 

Instead of enjoying retirement or entering into eternal rest this fool of a man found himself...

Slide 23: 

… banished from Heaven by God, his creator.

Slide 24: 

Now and forever he suffers the judgement of God.

Slide 25: 

All because he neglected to think of eternal matters and entrust himself to the one who could make his soul rich in Heaven.

Slide 27: 

Don’t you make the same mistake.

Slide 28: 

By the way, how would it go with you if God were to require your soul - TONIGHT?
