Sermon on the Mount: Live For What Will Last

May 5, 2024    Leke Aina

This sermon explores the idea of heavenly versus earthly treasures as discussed in Matthew 6:19-34. It argues that while material possessions are not inherently bad, making them our "heart’s utmost treasure" leads us away from God. Teaching Elder, Leke Aina, uses the metaphor of two kingdoms—the physical and the spiritual—to illustrate this point. Just as a physical eye focused on darkness affects the entire body, a mind fixated on material wealth corrupts the soul with greed and worry. Instead, the sermon encourages readers to seek first the Kingdom of God, aligning their thoughts and actions with His will. Ultimately, Leke urges us to "Live For What Will Last," investing in eternal rewards rather than temporary possessions.
