MONEY MATTERS: RICHES
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Money Matters
a) What does Matthew chapter 6 say about money matters?
2. Riches
Matthew 6:19-21
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
a) Some people accumulate needlessly large savings and investments, never satisfied that they have sufficient, always wanting more, more, more. The Bible tells us not to"trust in uncertain riches" (1 Timothy 6:17-19).
1 Timothy 6:17-19
17 Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. 18 Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, 19 storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.
b) While storing up some money against future needs is wise, our emphasis should be on storing up treasure in heaven.
