Text: Matthew 6:19-24
The world is always deceiving us and striving to convince us that we will be happy when we have more – more money, possessions, influence, power, relationships, etc. God, though, shows us that this is a lie. The truth is that great joy is experienced not in getting but in giving. In Acts 20:35 we are reminded that Jesus Himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” But, do we really believe this? Do we truly practice this? We begin this series today by looking at the words of Jesus concerning our management of wealth. We invite you to listen today as we each carefully consider, “Who do you serve?”
