Summary

Matthew 6:19–24, Proverbs 22:9, 1 Timothy 6:17–18 In this episode, we hear Jesus’ words about treasure and our eye…..huh? At first, it can sound confusing — what do our eyes have to do with treasure? But Jesus is teaching us how to see clearly: to treasure God above money and things. Kids will understand: Money and things aren’t bad — they can be tools to help others. What matters most is how we see them and how we use them. A “good eye” sees the truth: God is more beautiful and precious than anything money can buy. 🎁 Join the team:Visit ⁠⁠https://www.kbspodcast.com/⁠⁠ and click Support & Bonus Content You can: 💛 Give a one-time gift 🙌 Join Patreon for just $5/month and receive weekly bonus content 📅 Or choose a discounted onetime payment annual plan I also have Kids Bible Stories Bedtime & Kids Bible Stories Espanol now available, FREE, wherever you get your podcasts! -------------------- Interested in advertising on the show? ⁠Learn more here

1:05.2	What do you think he means when he says treasure?
1:09.9	Can you give me some examples? Money? Gold? Thanks for sharing.

1:32.8	But Jesus isn't talking about pirate treasure. He's talking about the things we treasure in our everyday

1:49.5	the row of beautiful dresses hanging in your closet, or maybe it's your collection of Pokemon cards.
1:58.1	To us, those can feel like treasures.
2:01.6	Right after Jesus talks about treasure, suddenly, he starts talking about our eyes.
