2013 Term 1 Week 3 - Why do we sin? - Part A - Greed

This will take a few weeks, particularly because week 4 is a public holiday and the guys will have forgotten most of it.

The catch phrase for this section is: "Good desire, sucky execution."

It means what our sinful actions are attempting to get for us is ultimately good, our way of going about it is sinful. At our core we desire God, we are made for relationship with God. Our entire being is oriented towards God.

To get there we will start with Greed.

The catch phrase for this lesson is: "The problem is that you are not greedy enough."

We define greed as asking something to be more than it is. Eg asking a car to help me feel better about myself.

Ultimately all desire leads to God. Greed is what happens when we settle for less. Instead of desiring God we desire something else.
