How Should We View Materialism?

Materialism VS the Countercultural Call to Treasure Christ

  • Materialism is spiritually dangerous because it trains the heart to chase earthly rewards instead of the riches of life with Jesus.
  • Jesus redirects our desires by warning against storing up treasures on earth and calling us to invest in treasure in heaven.
  • Countercultural contentment helps believers resist greed’s pull and stay faithful to Christ amid real-world temptations.
