You Can't Serve Two Masters

Jul 27, 2025    Sam Kiser

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our relationship with money and possessions through the lens of Jesus' teachings. The central scripture, Matthew 6:19-24, reminds us that we cannot serve both God and money. This isn't just about finances; it's about the core of our worship and what truly captures our hearts. We're encouraged to store up treasures in heaven rather than on earth, shifting our focus from temporary satisfaction to eternal fulfillment. The parable of the rich fool in Luke 12 further illustrates this point, showing us the futility of hoarding wealth without being rich towards God. As we reflect on these teachings, we're called to evaluate our priorities and consider how we can use our resources to serve God's kingdom rather than our own desires. This message invites us to experience true freedom and joy by aligning our hearts with God's purposes, rather than being enslaved by the pursuit of wealth.
