Prioritizing Eternal Wealth
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth…but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven…for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew 6: 19-21, NIV
In Week 7 of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus makes it clear that there is an eternal difference between Earthly Wealth and Heavenly Wealth. In order to make space for Heavenly Wealth we must give up the over-pursuit of Earthly Wealth. They cannot co-exist.
Wealth provides Security and Freedom
The source of your Security and Freedom can either be in Earthly Wealth or Heavenly Wealth
The over-pursuit of Earthly Wealth will crowd-out space for Heavenly Wealth
Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount is clear that your trust must start in the LORD, not money.
