We live in one of the most affluent cultures in history — and one of the most anxious.

In week one of Overflow, we explore Jesus’ words in Matthew 6 and the deeper issue underneath our relationship with money: trust.

What if financial anxiety is not primarily a money problem, but a trust problem? What if generosity is more than obedience — what if it’s formation? Jesus teaches that where our treasure is, our hearts follow, and invites us to live not as orphans grasping for security, but as beloved sons and daughters trusting in a generous Father.

This message explores:
• Why Jesus spoke so often about money
• The “healthy eye” vs the “unhealthy eye”
• Anxiety, scarcity, and the fear of not having enough
• Generosity as a practice of trust
• Moving from belief into daily dependence on God

“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” — Matthew 6:33
