Christ and Cash

In the first sermon in our series, ‘Christ and…’, we saw three building blocks:  there is a King, and His name is Jesus;  Jesus is interested in image-bearers of God;  and this kingdom has a message to tell the world. Those building blocks are remarkably helpful in thinking through Christ and cash. As Jesus starts His first training session with His disciples – kind of like a citizenship induction course – in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), He wants them to know that they are part of His kingdom by being connected to Him, that in this kingdom God is their Father, and that the kingdom priorities are the focus – God’s mob are focused on serving their King and being interested in His image-bearers. That means, they have no need to worry about their material wealth, or to focus on storing up assets and investments and possessions here – their Father knows what they need! Instead, they can focus on God’s kingdom!
