    The Downfall of Greed

    2 Kings 5:20-27

    Gehazi’s dishonesty reveals the steps greed commonly

    takes toward getting what it wants, and how it ultimately fails.

    1. Greed begins selfishly and secretly, in the heart

    (v. 20a)

    2. Greed lays selfish and secret plans (v. 20b, 24)

    3. Greed hides behind lies (vv. 21-22, 25)

    4. Greed preys on generosity (v. 23)

    5. Greed is finally exposed (v. 26a)

    6. Greed destroys trust (v. 26b) needed for godly respect

    and responsibility, and in personal relationships (implied)

    7. Greed results in suffering, in the future (v. 27a)

    and/or in the present (v. 27b), of one person (v. 27a)

    and/or others (v 27b)
