In this segment, Steve Gregg brings us to Matthew 6:19 where Jesus advises against focusing on earthly treasures, which can easily be destroyed or stolen, but rather on laying up treasure in heaven, where it is secure.

He points out the importance of being good stewards of our possessions and using them to serve the interests of the kingdom of God.
