More Than One Master? Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 29, 2021

One of the important areas that Jesus spoke a lot about was the enslavement to money and material possessions. Money is essential for our basic needs and daily living, but we should be wary to not let money become our master. Here is a study on being under different masters!

You may not be servants of God and of wealth.” (BBE) In the above mentioned ...read more
