Guarding the Heart: Freedom from the Idolatry of Money

📖 Introduction

Money is a powerful part of our daily lives. It provides security and opportunity, yet it can quietly become an idol if we allow it to take God’s place in our hearts. Matt Chandler has spoken powerfully about this spiritual danger: the idolatry of money. Idolatry is not just about statues or images; it is anything that takes supremacy over God. This 7-day Bible study invites you to confront the subtle worship of wealth and to redirect your heart to treasure God alone.

Throughout Scripture, financial issues are deeply tied to spiritual health. Jesus warned about the deceitfulness of riches and called us to seek first the kingdom of God. Matt Chandler emphasizes that money, when idolized, can become a source of fear, anxiety, and false security that replaces trust in God’s faithfulness.

Each day we will dive into key biblical passages that expose the idolatries associated with money. We will reflect on Paul’s teachings about contentment, Jesus’ radical call to stewardship, and the wisdom of seeking God’s provision over possessions. Importantly, our goal is not merely financial discipline but a heart transformation — worshipping God alone and trusting in His grace.

Prepare to be challenged and encouraged. This study asks, “Where is your treasure? Who do you worship?” as you journey toward financial freedom grounded in faith. Let’s reject the power of money as an idol and find true security in Christ.
