1
Matthew 6:24Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said
‘You cannot serve God and mammon.’
(NKJV)
2
Jesus said…..‘For where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also.’
Matthew 6:21 (NKJV)
3
Who are you serving?
4
Is it God…..
5
…….or is it Mammon?
6
Who is God?‘…the Lord God Almighty, who
was and is and is to come!’
Revelation 4:8 (ESV)
7
Who, or what, is Mammon….A world system describing the
accumulation of wealth
8
...a world system often
characterised as a false god…….
9
Which taken from the original
Syriac/Aramaic language (which
Jesus spoke) means…..
10
‘that in which one trusts’
11
So what Jesus was saying was……
We cannot serve God as well as
‘that in which we trust’ (unless the two are one and the same)
12
So…...….the question
remains – who do we serve; what are
we trusting in?
13
It’s an important question…..
…because we can only serve one
master. Only one way can be
correct!
14
(Unless you have worked out how to
travel in two differing directions at the same time!)
15
Jesus also said…..(…just in case we didn’t get
the message the first time…..)
16
Matthew 12:30‘Whoever is not
with me is against me, and whoever does not gather
with me scatters’
(ESV)
17
So…..….in which direction is
your life going?
18
…..are you looking to
God?
19
….or are you looking
elsewhere to place your
trust?
20
Hence our scripture of the
year Philippians 3:13-
14
21
‘Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my
own. But one thing I do:’
Note - just One thing
22
…forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies
ahead, I press on towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.’
23
One goal One prize One God One way
24
John 14:6Remember, Jesus said…..
‘I am the way, and the truth and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through Me.’
(ESV)
25
Which is your way?
