Are You Worried About Money? (3 of 6)

Matthew 6:24-34
If you have your Bible, please turn to Matthew chapter 6. I want to talk to you today about this subject, really a question: "Are You Worried About Money?"

Sometimes we get the idea that the only people that worry about money are those that don't have it. Well, those that don't have it are worried about money. Those that have it a ...
