Matthew 6:24Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said
‘You cannot serve God and mammon.’
(NKJV)

Jesus said…..‘For where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also.’
Matthew 6:21 (NKJV)

Who are you serving?
![Page 4: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Is it God…..
![Page 5: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

…….or is it Mammon?
![Page 6: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Who is God?‘…the Lord God Almighty, who
was and is and is to come!’
Revelation 4:8 (ESV)
![Page 7: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Who, or what, is Mammon….A world system describing the
accumulation of wealth
![Page 8: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

...a world system often
characterised as a false god…….
![Page 9: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
Which taken from the original
Syriac/Aramaic language (which
Jesus spoke) means…..
![Page 10: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

‘that in which one trusts’
![Page 11: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
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)
![Page 12: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
So…...….the question
remains – who do we serve; what are
we trusting in?
![Page 13: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
It’s an important question…..
…because we can only serve one
master. Only one way can be
correct!
![Page 14: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

travel in two differing directions at the same time!)

Jesus also said…..(…just in case we didn’t get
the message the first time…..)
![Page 16: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Matthew 12:30‘Whoever is not
with me is against me, and whoever does not gather
with me scatters’
(ESV)

So…..….in which direction is
your life going?
![Page 18: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

…..are you looking to
God?
![Page 19: Matthew 6:24 Teaching on laying up treasure, Jesus said](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051318/5a4d1ad17f8b9ab0599717e7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
….or are you looking
elsewhere to place your
trust?

…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.’
