What does your wallet reveal about where your heart actually lives? In this message from the Sermon on the Mount series, Pastor Justin Sturgeon walks through Matthew 6:19–24 — three back-to-back images Jesus uses to expose the relationship between money and the heart: where you store your treasure, whether your eye is generous or calculating, and whether mammon has quietly become your master. This sermon at First Christian Church of The Dalles opens with the 2008 financial crisis and the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme to show a point Jesus was making two thousand years earlier: nothing stored on earth is as secure as it looks. But Jesus isn't primarily interested in your financial strategy. He's asking a deeper question — when the hard times come, and they will, what does your gut actually reach for? Your savings account? Your retirement? Or God? Pastor Justin shows that "treasure in heaven" isn't a reward waiting for you after death; it's a reality secured in God's realm right now. And "mammon" isn't a distant idol — it's the quiet trust that may already be living inside your bank account. If this sermon encouraged you, please like, subscribe, and share it with a friend.
