ROK-07 - Jesus, Money, Stewardship, Rewards & Eternity - What is God's Desire for Us

For the past six weeks we have looked at how Christ's words about the dangers of living for the temporal treasures of materialism stayed with Peter to the end of his life, even to the point of his last chapter of life, 2 Peter 3. We saw these as:

Peter’s Lessons on: the End of the World, Materialism, Contentment & the Un-Cluttered Life

But, the lessons of Peter’s last chapter are dwarfed by the even more clear and direct words of Christ's last letter.

As we each open our Bibles to Revelation 3:14-21, we find Christ's Last Words to His Church, written down in this letter to the last church. The theme of this final letter is very pointedly about Materialism.

Peter alluded to what Jesus taught him about materialism in 2 Peter 3; but in Revelation 3, Jesus point blank condemns materialism in any form. In fact, we could entitle Christ's letter with these words:

Materialism in Believers Makes Jesus Nauseous
