Hearts at Rest – Part 3: The Danger of Materialism
(Matthew 6:19–24; Luke 12:22–34; 1 Timothy 6:6–10)
As the Christmas season fills our lives with shopping, sales, and pressure to have “just a little more,” Jesus’ words in Matthew 6 cut through the noise: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
In this closing message of the Hearts at Rest series, we explore how materialism quietly competes for our worship. Jesus teaches that the danger of wealth isn’t in owning things—but in letting those things own us. The heart naturally follows what it treasures, and when possessions sit on the throne, peace disappears.
Materialism blinds our spiritual vision, divides our loyalties, and fills life with the constant feeling of “not enough.” But Jesus offers a better way: the freedom of generosity rooted in trust. When we stop clinging to what fades and start trusting the God who provides, our vision clears, our hearts settle, and our lives overflow with gratitude and peace.
Generosity is not about loss—it’s about liberation. It’s how God breaks the power of money over our hearts and restores our joy. As we enter a season that glorifies excess, this message reminds us that our hearts were never meant to rest in possessions, but in a Person. Christ alone satisfies, and when He becomes our treasure, our hearts finally come to rest.
