When Money Takes the Throne

Sep 28, 2025    Clint Lamberth

Money is perhaps the most common idol people face today. In this message from our series Modern-Day Idols, Pastor Clint explores why money so often takes the throne of our hearts, how it shapes our decisions, and the danger of trusting wealth instead of God.


Through vivid stories—including a trapped monkey and the root problem of a recurring wart—you’ll see why Scripture calls the love of money the root of all kinds of evil. Clint unpacks Jesus’ teaching on mammon and shows how serving money always leads to sorrow, while trusting God leads into lasting freedom.
