What God Values (Part 8) | Pastor Zane Garza | Matthew 6:19-24

As we stand on the threshold of 2026, it is natural to look back at the past year and evaluate our walk with Jesus. In this challenging message, Pastor Zane Garza provides faithful expositional preaching on a vital section of the Sermon on the Mount, focusing on what it means to truly treasure the things of God. Jesus presents us with a clear choice: will we invest our lives in temporal earthly treasures that decay and can be stolen, or will we lay up eternal treasures in heaven? By examining the function of our spiritual eyes and the impossibility of serving two masters, this sermon calls every believer to set their heart in heaven by serving God alone.Chapters:0:00:00 - Introduction and Prayer for the Chadwick Family0:01:48 - Reflecting on 2025 and Looking Forward to 20260:04:23 - Review of the Sermon on the Mount0:06:50 - Righteousness Through Christ Alone0:08:52 - Contrasting Earthly and Heavenly Rewards0:10:13 - Scripture Reading: Matthew 6:19-240:12:53 - What This Text Does Not Mean: Poverty vs. Spirituality0:16:51 - Treasures Location: Earth vs. Heaven0:18:46 - Why Where You Treasure Matters0:19:54 - Treasures Durability: Moth, Rust, and Thieves0:22:25 - Insider Trading Knowledge from the Creator0:24:43 - The Importance of Spiritual Vision0:25:57 - The Eyes Function: Giving Light to the Body0:26:50 - Personal Illustration: Getting Dressed in the Dark0:27:31 - Naval Illustration: Diving in Pitch Blackness0:29:57 - The Eyes Focus: A Generous vs. Evil Eye0:31:30 - Money as a Barometer of Spiritual Condition0:33:41 - The Blessing of a Generous Soul0:34:42 - Who We Must Serve: Slaves and Masters0:36:09 - The Difference Between an Employee and a Slave0:37:31 - The Impossible Compromise of Two Masters0:39:46 - The Frustration of Divided Allegiance0:42:30 - Putting God First for a Fruitful Life0:43:56 - Choosing Your Master for 20260:45:51 - Practical Application: Daily Time in the Word0:46:50 - Accessing 2026 Bible Reading PlansPlease share this video with your friends and encourage them to learn more at:[www.canyonridgebaptist.com](https://www.canyonridgebaptist.com)Did you accept Christ as your Savior today?
