Fidelity Investing #3: Choosing My Master – Christ or Cash
10/04/26 – 11:00am
This lesson explores the conflict between serving Christ and serving cash, emphasizing that divided loyalty is impossible because no one can serve two masters. The core warning is expressed through Five Signs That Cash May Be My Master: allowing treasure to direct the heart, worrying or becoming fearful about finances, chasing material things as the world does, placing faith in wealth rather than God’s care, and becoming mastered by money instead of choosing Christ. Drawing from Matthew 6, Luke 12, and 1 Timothy 6, the lesson contrasts the insecurity of riches with the dependable provision of God. It also presents three defining choices for ensuring that Jesus remains Master: Seeking God’s Kingdom First, trusting Him as Provider, Father, and King; Putting God First Through Giving, using generosity and tithing to keep money in its proper place; and Investing in Eternity, sharing what God provides rather than storing wealth only for oneself. Ultimately, the message calls believers to Choose Christ Over Cash, placing their trust, generosity, and future security in God rather than in possessions that can be lost.
