6. TWO KINDS of TREASURES
MATTHEW 6:19-21
Do not store up for yourselves treasures
on earth, where moth & rust consume &
where thieves break in & steal, but store up
for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust consumes & where
thieves do not break in & steal. For where
your treasure is, there your heart will be…

7. TWO KINDS of EYES
MATTHEW 6:22-23
The eye is the lamp of the body.
So, if your eye is healthy, your whole
body will be full of light; but if your eye is
unhealthy, your whole body will be full
of darkness. If then the light in you
is darkness, how great is the darkness.

8. TWO KINDS of MASTERS
MATTHEW 6:24
No one can serve two masters; for either
he will hate the one & love the other,
or he will be devoted to the one &
despise the other. You cannot serve
God & mammon.
