Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Matthew
Key Text: Matthew 6:19-24
Description:
Your possessions.
Your security.
Everything you thought would make you happy.
Everything you worked so hard for.
— What if it was all taken away tomorrow?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues our study
in the Gospel of Matthew —
as Jesus confronts the dangerous hold
that earthly treasure can have upon the human heart.
For what if, in gaining everything
this world has to offer,
you lose sight of what matters most?
Jesus teaches us that no one can serve two masters.
And He warns that where our treasure is,
our hearts will follow.
Yet Christ offers riches
that wealth can never purchase —
the enduring riches of God’s grace.
The question, then, is not simply
what you possess…
but what possesses you?

Discussion Guide:
This guide is designed for both individual reflection, as well as group discussions like family worship. My prayer is that it will allow you to dwell longer, and meditate more, upon God’s holy Word and will be fodder for sanctifying conversations.
