There are over 6000 books you can buy on Amazon by financial advisors, who are all eager to share their sage advice about how to invest your money for a maximum return. (Step 1, buy their book.)

You might be interested in some bestselling titles: Buffett’s 2-Step Stock Market Strategy by Daniel Jiwani or The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by John C. Bogle. This one could be good: Crypto Investing for Beginners by Mark Swanson. But who can you really trust to give you advice about investing? I can help you with that.

This week in our study series, based on the Sermon on the Mount, we come to an investment seminar by the greatest financial advisor who ever lived. In a few short verses, Jesus tells us where to put our money for the best value of our investment dollars. In Matthew 6:19,20 Jesus says: Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth…. but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.

As followers of Jesus, that sounds like good advice. But, how exactly does that transaction take place? How do we get our treasure up to heaven, and how do we access it once we get there? Is there a cash machine in heaven that will take a debit card? Are there any financial pitfalls that we should be aware of? This is the kind of financial investment we’re going to talk about!
