Students of the Savior Matthew 6:19-34 Trust For the remainder of Matthew 6, Jesus turns to address our personal interior lives. Jesus raises the issue of greed and hoarding wealth among the people of God. These are not new issues, but in our modern world, they are often viewed as virtuous. Christ is bold and clear on this point, “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth” (Matt. 6:24). By utilizing imagery that was present there on the mountainside, Jesus assures us that we have no need to worry. Many of us don’t realize the driving force that worry is in our lives. Jesus calls out our worry for what it is, and calls us to instead trust in God. Join us this Sunday as we look to Jesus’ way, a life free from worry and full of trust in the faithfulness of God! -Pastor Nate Roschen
