In this powerful teaching, Pastor Scott Thom challenges believers to examine where their true treasure lies—on earth or in heaven. Drawing from Matthew 6:19 –21, he explains how even those with little can be consumed by greed and how God calls us to value relationships and eternal investments over material possessions. With biblical insight and practical examples, Pastor Thom emphasizes generosity, heavenly-mindedness, and investing in people over things.
