Lastest message Giving Sunday 2023 | Steve Morrison | Matthew 6:19–25

Amid a cost-of-living crisis, understanding Jesus’ teaching on how we handle our money is more important than ever. And Jesus is quite clear that this area of our discipleship is a battleground. In v24 Jesus uses the word Mammon to describe a spiritual force, Mammon is a personified con-artist out for our affections. We have a choice between 2 gods. The truth, Jesus proclaims, is that ‘you cannot serve God & money.’ Not you shouldn’t or it’s hard, but you can’t. We cannot sit on the fence. And this is a real challenge for our discipleship if, in general, we don’t think we have a problem. This giving Sunday we look at how Jesus is far superior to the god of Mammon, and that what he offers us never disappoints. He alone has died for us, to provide eternal security and hope, and He alone is the one we can trust!
