The Rich Fool | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of Luke 12:13–21, built around the words: “So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God” (Luke 12:21).

Walk a numbered map from a family quarrel to riches that last, then look closer at the coins, the field, the barns, the moon and the open hand. Context, Greek words and modern prophets help, while the focus stays on the Savior, who invites us to treasure in heaven.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the quarrel, the coins, the field, the barns, the ease, the moon, the scale, the heart and the open hand
• Where are you? Holding on tight, worried about the future, ready to share, or treasure in heaven, with check-ins
• Barns or heaven? Finish each line, then add your own
• Their world, their words: our own weakness, “I” and “my,” the real source, and two Greek words
• Look to Him: what prophets teach about being rich toward God
• Seek Him today: a question to ask in prayer, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For
