Righteous Living Reflects the Kingdom

Jesus teaches that we should not hoard material possessions, which can be destroyed or stolen, but instead focus on storing up treasures in heaven through acts of love, generosity, and faith. This sermon contrasts the Pharisees' greed and obsession with wealth—mistaking it for righteousness—with Jesus’ call for a heart-centered righteousness that prioritizes God’s kingdom over worldly pursuits. By seeking God’s kingdom first (Matthew 6:33), trusting in His provision, and living as witnesses to His love, we can build lasting treasures that reflect an eternal perspective, offering hope and purpose even amid life’s fragility.
