Lake Chapala Baptist Church
Most of us work hard for the things we value — security, success, comfort — but sometimes the things we own start to own us. We spend our lives chasing these trophies that fade, break, or disappear. Jesus once said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Come explore His words about treasure, vision, and loyalty from Matthew 6:19–24 — a piercing look at what truly lasts and what brings real freedom. Money is a great servant and terrible master. Join us as we explore how to relate to this part of our lives and find a freedom and peace that lasts.
