Sermon on the Mount (50): You Cannot Serve Two Masters

Summary
In this sermon Mike Waters continues to teach on Christ's greatest sermon recorded in Matthew 6:24 and now called the Sermon on the Mount. In this lesson Waters unwraps the timeless truths that the greatest affections of the heart determine who we serve and become slaves to—either God or mammon. Mammon means materialistic things, such as riches and pleasure and other worldly pursuits. Our God is a Good Master— He is King over all things. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. O, how we should long for and rejoice to serve such a benevolent and merciful Master!

Sermon Text
Matt. 6:24 NKJV
24“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
