Your Treasure's Where Your Heart Is Found
Matthew 6:19-24 and Luke 12:16-21
by Dr. Ralph F. WilsonPart of a study on the Sermon on the Mount
READER 1 | Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. |
READER 2 | Don't store them up |
READER 3 | Hoard them |
READER 4 | Stash them away |
READER 2 | Seeking to become richer and richer. |
READER 3 | Jesus told this parable: |
READER 1 | The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. |
READER 4 | Plentiful harvest. |
READER 1 | He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' |
READER 2 | No place to store it all. |
READER 1 | This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. |
READER 2 | I'll tear down my barns |
READER 3 | And build bigger ones. |
READER 2 | Tear down my barns |
READER 4 | And build bigger ones. |
READER 3 | Bigger ones. |
READER 2 | Bigger. |
READER 3 | More. |
READER 4 | Much. |
READER 1 | And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." ' |
READER 2 | But God said to him, 'You fool! |
READER 3 | You blind man. |
READER 4 | You idiot! |
READER 1 | This very night your life will be demanded from you. |
READER 2 | Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' |
READER 3 | This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself |
READER 4 | But is not rich toward God. |
READER 3 | Rich toward God. |
READER 1 | Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, |
READER 2 | Where moth and rust destroy, |
READER 3 | And where thieves break in and steal. |
READER 1 | But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, |
READER 2 | Treasures in heaven. |
READER 3 | Where moth and rust do not destroy, |
READER 4 | And where thieves do not break in and steal. |
READER 1 | For where your treasure is, |
READER 2 | There your heart will be also. |
READERS 1 and 2 | For where your treasure is, |
READERS 3 and 4 | There your heart will be also. |
READER 1 | The eye is the lamp of the body. |
READER 2 | The eye is like a window through which the light shines in. |
READER 1 | If your eyes are good, |
READER 3 | If your spiritual vision is sound, |
READER 4 | Your whole body will be full of light. |
READER 1 | But if your eyes are bad, |
READER 2 | Your spiritual vision is faulty |
READER 3 | Off track. |
READER 4 | Influenced by greed. |
READER 1 | Your whole body will be full of darkness. |
READER 2 | If then the light within you is darkness, |
READER 3 | How great is that darkness! |
READER 1 | No one can serve two masters. |
READER 2 | Two masters. |
READER 3 | Either he will hate the one and love the other, |
READER 4 | Or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. |
READER 1 | No one can serve two masters. |
READER 2 | Two masters. |
READER 3 | You cannot serve both God and Money. |
READER 1 | God |
READER 2 | And Mammon. |
READER 1 | God |
READER 3 | And materialism. |
READER 1 | No one can serve two masters. |
READER 2 | You cannot serve two masters. |
READER 3 | You cannot serve both God and Money. |
ALL | Serve God! |
