2. Matthew 6:19-21
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures
on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and
where thieves break in and steal. But store
up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where moth and rust do not destroy, and
where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also.

3. Matthew 6:22-23
The eye is the lamp of the body. If your
eyes are good, your whole body will be full
of light. But if your eyes are bad, your
whole body will be full of darkness. If then
the light within you is darkness, how great
is that darkness!

4. Matthew 6:24
No one can serve two masters. Either he
will hate the one and love the other, or he
will be devoted to the one and despise the
other. You cannot serve both God and
Money.

The contrast between v19 and 20 is WHERE
we store up treasure, not THAT we store up
treasure.

DESTITUTION, and, for you
spenders, not an excuse to
not SAVE

An eternal perspective frees us to be
GENEROUS toward others, as earthly
treasure is not a MASTER to serve, but a
TOOL to use.
