<description>&lt;p&gt;Cheri continues a Sermon on the Mount series with a challenging message on money, possessions, and "kingdom living" (Matthew 6).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;She asks what our bank accounts and goals reveal about our true priorities, warning that storing up earthly treasure shapes our hearts and loyalties. Unpacking Jesus' teaching about the "good eye," she connects generosity with spiritual clarity and shows how greed creates divided focus, like trying to run toward two finish lines. She also explores "mammon" as a rival master, arguing that trusting wealth for security easily becomes a kind of idolatry.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;While affirming the goodness of work and provision, she distinguishes that from the desire for more than we need, and links hoarding to worry and the modern illusion of control. The invitation is to seek God's kingdom first, trust a generous Father who knows our needs, and step into a freer, more content life marked by generosity rather than fear.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

She also explores "mammon" as a rival master, arguing that trusting wealth for security easily becomes a kind of idolatry.
