Matthew ch 6 vs 19-24 - Rev Russ Stringfield - Sunday, August 16, 2026
Pastor Karl continues the Kingdom Now series in Matthew 20, exploring what sets kingdom greatness apart from worldly greatness. As Jesus tells His disciples He is heading to Jerusalem to suffer, be mocked, and be crucified, James and John's mother asks for positions of honor for her sons — missing the point entirely. Jesus responds with a defining truth: true greatness in God's kingdom comes through serving others, not through status or position. The message then turns to two blind men on the roadside who cry out to Jesus despite the crowd's attempts to silence them, and Jesus stops to heal them. Pastor Karl unpacks what it means to pursue Christ with bold, public faith rather than settling for silent, private belief, and challenges the church to approach God's throne of grace with the same desperation and persistence.

Jesus told a story about a wealthy man who had everything he needed, but still wanted more. His problem wasn't having wealth. It was believing that everything he had was his to keep.In this message, Pastor Paul Malott looks at the parable of the rich fool in Luke 12 and what it means to trust that God is in control, recognize that everything belongs to Him, and live generously with what we've been given.Send us Fan Mail
In this message, Pastor Karl continues the "Kingdom Now" series with a study through Matthew 20, unpacking Jesus's Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard. Building on Peter's question at the end of Matthew 19 — "What do we get for the sacrifice we've given?" — Pastor Karl explores the difference between gifts and rewards in the Christian life. Salvation is a gift, received by grace through faith, while eternal rewards are tied to faithfulness, obedience, generosity, and perseverance in serving God's kingdom. Through the story of the vineyard workers who all receive the same wage regardless of when they started, Pastor Karl reveals that this parable isn't primarily about the workers — it's about the graciousness of the master. God's rewards are given by grace, not earned through work, but they are given to those who work. This message challenges listeners to live radically committed lives, storing up treasures in heaven rather than settling for a "safe soul and a wasted life."

In Matthew 6:19-24, Jesus cuts straight to the heart of where we place our trust. He warns us that earthly treasures are temporary, calls us to fix our eyes on what is eternal, and makes it plain that divided devotion is no devotion at all. Two treasures, two visions, two masters, but only one worthy of everything we have. Jesus alone is the treasure death cannot take, the light darkness cannot overcome, and the Master who never fails. He isn't asking for part of our hearts. He's worthy of all of it.

Storing Up Treasures in Heaven In this Homily, Jesus calls His disciples to store up treasures in heaven rather than on earth. The Homily explains that during biblical times people commonly measured wealth through fine clothing, gold and silver, abundant harvests, honor, and power. Yet all these earthly treasures are temporary. Clothes wear out, food decays, wealth can be stolen, and worldly achievements eventually pass away. Through examples such as the rich man and Lazarus and the parable of the rich fool, Jesus reminds His followers that material possessions cannot provide lasting security or eternal life. The Homily emphasizes that the true treasure of heaven is Jesus Christ Himself. Quoting Saint Louis de Montfort . . . “To have Jesus is to have everything” . . . and Saint Augustine's teaching to love God above all things and love everything else for God's sake, the Homily invites us to examine our priorities. What Occupies Our First Thoughts What occupies our first thoughts in the morning and our final thoughts at night? God asks not only for our love, but for our supreme love. When God becomes the highest good in our lives, all other gifts . . . family, friendships, work, talents, and possessions . . . find their proper place. The challenge of Christian discipleship is to make God our greatest treasure so that our hearts remain fixed on Him. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Art Work Painting: Sermon on the Mount: Carl Bloch (1834 -1890) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: Matthew 6:19-23 First Reading: 2 Kings 11:1-4, 9-18, 20 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Why this Image Was Selected: This painting portrays Christ teaching the very principles that form the foundation of the Homily.

Generosity Series - Treasures in Heaven Maz Kefali Jesus teaches that generosity is not about how much we possess, but how we hold what we have. Through His words on treasures, stewardship, and the “good eye,” we are reminded that our hearts are shaped by what we value most. A life centered on God sees people with compassion, holds possessions with open hands, and treasures eternal things over temporary security. Whether we have much or little, we are invited to live with generosity, trusting that everything we have has first been entrusted to us by God.

The rich young ruler didn't just have wealth—he trusted it (Matthew 19:16–30). His money gave him a false sense of security and self-sufficiency, convincing him he was in control. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef shows why Scripture repeatedly warns against that trap and calls believers to live differently. Paul's instruction to Timothy is direct: don't be arrogant, and don't put your hope in wealth “which is so uncertain,” but in God who provides richly (1 Timothy 6:17). Jesus goes even further, urging us to stop stockpiling temporary treasures and instead invest in eternity—because what you treasure reveals what you truly worship (Matthew 6:19–21). Dr. Youssef also exposes the deeper misconception behind the ruler's mindset: thinking salvation can be earned, purchased, or donated into existence. No amount of rule-keeping, good deeds, or financial generosity can reconcile a sinner to God. Jesus makes the point unmistakably: what is impossible with man is possible with God (Matthew 19:26). Only God can change a sinful heart, and only the blood of Jesus can secure forgiveness and eternal life. If you've been tempted to rely on resources, status, or self-effort for security, this devotional will redirect your hope to the only sure foundation: Christ alone. Prayer: God, thank You for sending Your Son to die on the cross for me. Help me to remember to put my hope in You every day, not in my finances. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “For where you treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). Learn more in Dr. Michael A. Youssef's sermon Encountering Christ, Arms Wide Open: LISTEN NOW The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

Learn why self-centeredness is the root of many personal struggles and how recognizing God's word can redirect our focus from ourselves to fulfilling our divine purpose.
What are you storing up for the future?In Bruce Wilkerson's book A Life God Rewards - Why Everything You Do Today Matters Forever, he tells of a week-long seminary class he taught on rewards in heaven. Every afternoon after the class, a special group of scholars met and debated every point. One day, a church historian from Romania asked the group,"What do the greats of church history such as Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Wesley, and Spurgeon all have in common?" When everyone hesitated, he told the answer. "They all earnestly believed in and hoped for eternal rewards."Wilkerson said that toward the end of the week, he noticed a shift. The room full of scholars were spending less time debating and more time responding personally to the material.One afternoon, an older participant pulled him aside and said, "I thought God brought me here to learn more about eternal rewards, but I was wrong. "He brought me here to change my heart. I'm leaving a changed professor."Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:20,"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal..." >>Watch on YouTube
Store your treasures in heaven. [NLT]
There is only one way to lay out your treasures in heaven, that is, fasting. The spiritual discipline of fasting is just denying yourself of something you want or need, to focus yourself on God. It's a very important and vital habit that all Christians should practice weekly, monthly, and even daily to center themselves on God. In today's message, Pastor Bill will highlight the potential of what fasting can do for you and what it's been proven to do for others. Fasting is an opportunity to slow down and find God in the mundane!
When we give, which we are commanded to give, we have to give generously and discreetly! The Bible tells us to help others in need and to be generous with what we have been blessed with! Most people think of finances, but it could also be our time, consideration, or simply a listening ear! In today's message, Pastor Bill will encourage you to give back to God what He has blessed you with! Be faithful with the patience, the time, and even the money that the Lord has blessed you with!
Life happens…the ups and downs of everyday life are unavoidable. The difference between Christians is that we have someone going before us, and we have someone with us, and we have someone watching our back! In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you of the main command God gave us: God said, “Come to me!” You can go to God when life is good and easy, and when life is hard and unfortunate. God is there to help you take every step in boldness and confidence!!!

Matthew 6:19-34 - Gaze Upon God's Character - AJ KratzMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Topical/a1437.pdf
This week's message is all about eternal investment. Jesus calls us to store up treasure in heaven, not in things that fade, but in things that last forever. The truth is, we may never fully see the return on our time or our giving this side of eternity… but one day, we will. And when we do, it'll be worth every second and every sacrifice. We're not just giving, we're building. Let's Build the Church.
