  • Gaining A Heart Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 16, 2021
     | 8,165 views

    Life is short! We must invest our time in that which is of eternal value. All that glitters is not gold. The vanities of this world are of much less value than "gaining a heart of wisdom" (Ps. 90:12). This message leads into Jesus's parable about finding a treasure in Matthew 13:44.

    What do you value most in life? The question is not what you should value most. The question is what do you value most in life? The answer to that question is not found in what we say we value. The answer is found in how we invest our lives—how we invest the precious minutes, hours, and days of ...read more

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 11, 2021
     | 4,326 views

    Jesus isn't simply telling us not to be anxious. He's calling us to have a completely different attitude towards material possessions and material needs from the rich fool; to be confident in God and in that confidence, to be rich towards God and others.

We’re in a series in Luke, following Jesus and his disciples on their journey from Galilee down to Jerusalem. Their journey starts in Luke ...read more

    It's easy to get sidetracked and let your mind wander. We get focused on things from the past or what's in the future. This can be especially true as we head into the new year. If we're not careful we'll risk losing out on making the most of the moment.

    BE IN THE NOW INTRODUCTION: Be Here Now is a book published in 1971 by Ram Dass on Hindu spirituality and yoga. I've never read the book and don't subscribe to Hinduism but the principle of the phrase itself is a valid one. Be here now communicates the importance of keeping your focus on what ...read more
