November 2nd, 2025 | Seek ONE | Matthew 6:19-24

In this message from the Seek 1 series, Pastor Matt Darby reminds us that when it comes to the human heart, nothing competes for God’s place quite like money. Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:19–24 confront the idols that fight for our worship and call us to serve one Master—not money, not possessions, but Christ alone.

Through this passage, Pastor Matt unpacks three powerful truths from Jesus’ teaching:
-Money is the greatest indicator of what has your heart. What you treasure most will always reveal where your heart truly is.
-How you view money shapes how you view everything else. A kingdom perspective fills your life with light, but a worldly one brings darkness.
-You will either serve money as your god or serve God with your money. Everyone will have one master—but no one can have two.

Pastor Matt challenges us to see every resource we have as belonging to God and to live with open hands, not clenched fists. Through Malachi 3, we’re reminded that the tithe—the first and best tenth—is how we declare that all we have belongs to Him. And through Colossians 1, we see that Jesus is preeminent—first in all things, including our finances.

“Every act of generosity weakens the grip of greed and strengthens your trust in God.”

This message is both practical and deeply spiritual—a call to dethrone idols, trust the Lord’s provision, and live with a posture of radical generosity. Because life works best when Jesus is first, and everything else flows from there.
