In Matthew 6:21 we learn "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" This is a matter of worship. Whatever you worship controls you. And in John 4:23 we learn, "the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks."

When Jesus comes to live inside of us, He gives us a whole new way of thinking. We get a new way of life and start to see things a whole different way. One of those things is money. In Matthew 6:19-21 Jesus states, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" John 4:24 "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."

We see that whatever we depend upon or worship will ultimately control us. That's why it is the first commandment. God wants our hearts to be inclined toward Him. Jesus pointed that out: "you can't server God and money at the same time".

As we talk about everyday the basic Gospel intersects with our lives. And one of those touch-points is money. In that light we want to look at worship... where's your heart. So often we use money to buy all sorts of things, but we find out it can never truly satisfy. When we come to the message of Christ we find that He has provided everything we need.

You cannot server God and money. But so many of us try to do that, because we think it can do things that it never will or can. And too often we let money control us and what God wants is for us to be controlled by His love.
