As we stand on the threshold of 2026, it is natural to look back at the past year and evaluate our walk with Jesus. In this challenging message, Pastor Zane Garza provides faithful expositional preaching on a vital section of the Sermon on the Mount, focusing on what it means to truly treasure the things of God. Jesus presents us with a clear choice: will we invest our lives in temporal earthly treasures that decay and can be stolen, or will we lay up eternal treasures in heaven? By examining the function of our spiritual eyes and the impossibility of serving two masters, this sermon calls every believer to set their heart in heaven by serving God alone.
