Treasure Test | Pastor Ed Newton | CBC

About this sermon

Jesus makes it unmistakably clear in Matthew 6:21–24 that money is never just about money. It is always about trust. In this message, “Treasure Test,” we learn that what we treasure reveals what we trust. Our hearts follow what we consider valuable, what we chase, and what we collect. Jesus warns that greed distorts vision, divides affections, and disrupts peace. When our eyes are unhealthy, even what we think is light becomes darkness. But contentment brings clarity. A healthy eye recognizes, I do have enough. It creates margin, invites generosity, and leads to sacrificial living. Jesus confronts comparison and covetousness head-on, reminding us that no one can serve two masters. Money makes a terrible god but a powerful tool when surrendered to Christ. This message challenges us to stop living like owners and start living like stewards. We cannot keep what we have, but we can invest it eternally. When generosity leads, testimony follows. The way we handle money reveals which kingdom we belong to and who we truly trust. Takeaway: Money is a tool. Greed is a trap. Generosity is a testimony.
