Faith Over Fortune: Living Free from Divided Loyalties

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day journey exploring one of the most profound teachings Jesus shared about finances and faith. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus gives a clear and challenging warning: "You cannot serve both God and money." This study is designed to help you reflect deeply on what it means to avoid divided loyalty between wealth and God, something many believers wrestle with in a world driven by materialism.

Money is an essential part of our daily lives: it provides security, enables generosity, and supports our needs. Yet, Jesus wisely cautions us that when money becomes our master, it competes for a place reserved only for God’s reign in our hearts. This tension can pull us away from our true purpose and the abundant life God desires for us.

Throughout this week, we will dive into Scripture to understand how earthly wealth can easily become an idol. We will examine ways to align our financial habits with God’s kingdom values, learning how to steward resources faithfully with an eternal perspective. You’ll be invited to challenge your own attitudes toward money, and to discover the freedom that comes from serving God wholeheartedly, not divided between God and material possessions.

Get ready to explore powerful truths, practical wisdom, and heartfelt prayerful reflection. Whether you’re navigating financial struggles or managing plenty, this study encourages you to prioritize your relationship with God above all else, because real life and freedom are found in Him—not in wealth.
