The Sermon on the Mount, Part 13

Matthew 6:19-34

Thirty years ago Zimbabwe (then named Rhodesia) was one of the world's most prosperous nations. Today it is one of the poorest nations on earth. Today we see major economic issues threatening the security of the western nations. Mr. Smith continues his study of the Sermon on the Mount covering the last half of Matthew 6 and asks us the question, "Are we seeking our security from God or from the economy of our nation?"
