Summary

Sermon on the Mount E28 – In his third teaching on money, Jesus issues a warning about elevating wealth to the position of God in our lives. To describe wealth, Jesus uses the word “mammon,” which can be translated as “the thing in which you trust.” What happens when we put our trust in our wealth? What does Jesus mean by “unrighteous wealth?” And what can it look like to be free from the love of money? In this uncut episode, join Tim and Jon in a long-form dialogue exploring the Parable of the Shrewd Manager and how we can only have one ultimate allegiance—God or money.

0:05.0	This is Bible Project Podcast and this year we're reading through the sermon on the mount.
0:09.0	I'm John Collins and with me is co-host Michelle Jones.
0:12.0	Hi Michelle. Hi Michelle.
0:12.6	Hi John, so this is an uncut episode.
0:16.0	You'll notice in your podcast feed is another version of this episode where we invite
0:20.6	in a bigger community of Bible readers and explore today's topic from even more

0:49.0	The first teaching was all about storing up sky treasure or as we began to say sky stuff.
0:55.3	If God's new creation is going to be full of abundance, then we can connect to it now by
0:59.9	believing in that abundance, by living generously with our time and money and when we do
1:05.4	we're storing up sky stuff. In the second teaching Jesus gives us a riddle about
1:10.0	having a good eye or a bad eye. The good eye is an eye that believes in God's abundance.
1:15.6	If your eye is good, the light within you is radiant. And that brings us to the third
1:20.9	teaching on money. This third teaching is short and memorable. No one is
1:26.1	able to serve two masters for either he will hate the one and love the other or
1:30.9	he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You are not
1:35.4	able to serve God and wealth. Or also translated, you can't serve God and mammon.
1:42.0	And that word mammon is a little rabbit hole will go down. Here's Tim.
