    About this ebook

    Whether you are in plenty or in want, money has a direct connection to your values, your faith, and the health of your relationships. It’s no wonder that in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus presented a radical message about our “treasure” and our hearts.

    In this four-week study, Jacob Armstrong uses Matthew 6 to reexamine how we look at our finances and possessions, through the counter-cultural teachings of the Sermon on the Mount.

    Sessions include:
    Week 1: Where Is Your Treasure? Matthew 6:19-23
    Week 2: The Problem with Two Masters Matthew 6:24
    Week 3: How to Give Matthew 6:1-6
    Week 4: Don’t Worry ‘Bout a Thing Matthew 6:25-35

    This book of daily devotional readings is an important part of the program and is designed both for individual reading and group use. The book helps participants explore ways in which generosity and financial challenges in their personal lives can affect relationships with people and with God. Each devotion includes a Scripture, a short reading with stories, and a prayer.

    This Daily Readings book and DVD can be used in a small group setting or with the Program Guide and Flash Drive as part of a church-wide Stewardship program.

      Treasure Daily Readings - Jacob Armstrong

      Week One

      Where Is Your Treasure?

      Stop collecting treasures for your own benefit on earth, where moth and rust eat them and where thieves break in and steal them. Instead, collect treasures for yourselves in heaven, where moth and rust don’t eat them and where thieves don’t break in and steal them. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21)

      1. Redefining Treasure

      Stop collecting treasures for your own benefit on earth, where moth and rust eat them and where thieves break in and steal them. (Matthew 6:19)

      The first time it happened, I didn’t know what she was up to.

      I had come to home to visit my parents, and as I was leaving, my mom stopped me and handed me a box. It was an old cardboard box that was heavy in my arms. When I opened the box, I realized what she was doing. She was cleaning out her closets. This became her custom for the next couple of years. Every time I left, she would hand me another old box. The boxes were filled to the brim with stuff. It was my stuff.

      When I opened the boxes, memories would flood over me. One box was filled with all my old trophies. Soccer, baseball, basketball, and pinewood derby trophies reminded me of my pursuits when I was younger. Another box held my baseball card collection, the one I pored over hour after hour in elementary school. Another box had photos, another notes and cards, another local newspaper clippings with my name highlighted.

      My mother had given me the treasure from my first eighteen years. Surprisingly, it all fit into four or five boxes. Not so surprisingly, the stuff that had been cluttering her closet now clutters mine.

      We all have stuff. We have so much stuff that our homes can’t hold it all. But this book won’t be an indictment on stuff. In fact, much of our stuff is quite helpful. The couches, the refrigerator, the beds all go to good use. Even the things we think that are worth keeping in boxes can hold special meaning. What I’ve learned, though, is that those things are not our
