God & Money
August 31, 2026 · 50m
What we treasure always tells the truth about who is really on the throne of our hearts. In this message from Matthew 6, Chad unpacks Jesus’ words on money, mammon, and generosity, showing how our use of resources reveals our true allegiance. Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount, the parable of the rich fool, the rich young ruler, and real-life examples of radical generosity, we’re invited to dethrone rival “kings” and trust our Father with every part of our lives—including our finances.
**In this message, you’ll learn:**
- **Why you can’t serve both God and money** and how mammon subtly becomes a functional “lord”
- **What it means to store up treasure in heaven** and be “rich toward God”
- **How generous eyes fill your whole life with light** and reshape your lifestyle, margins, and priorities
**Key Scriptures:**
Matthew 6:19–34, Luke 12:15–21, Matthew 19:16–22 / Mark 10, 1 Timothy 6:17–19, 2 Corinthians 8, Romans 12
**Questions for reflection & discussion:**
1. Where does your current spending and saving reveal your true treasure?
2. What “rival king” (security, status, comfort, control) most competes with Jesus in your heart?
3. What is one concrete step of generosity you can take this week to “put your treasure where you want your heart to go”?
**Next step:**
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you one area of your finances or possessions to freshly surrender to Jesus, and respond with a practical act of generosity that aligns your heart with His kingdom.
