    Laying Up Treasures

    Contributed by Paul George on Jun 9, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,593 views

    A preoccupation with hoarding earthly treasure makes little practical sense. Eternal investments, investments in the kingdom of heaven, are far more profitable. They are certain, and the benefits long lasting. Earthly investments are short-lived.

    Laying up Treasures Matthew 6:19-34 The Lord Jesus told the disciples, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do ...read more

    Do we own our possessions or do our possessions own us?

    Today’s message comes to us from Matthew chapter 19. It is the story of the rich young man who meets Jesus. It is about the things we value – our possessions. Right and wrong attitudes.

    Living With Godliness And Contentment

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 26, 2025
     | 396 views

    If we learn to live with godliness and contentment, we will experience peace, divine favour, and an assurance of God’s provision. Our focus should not be on the temporary pleasures of the world but on eternal treasures that come from a life pleasing to God.

    LIVING WITH GODLINESS AND CONTENTMENT By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Timothy 6:6 – “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” Supporting Texts: Philippians 4:11-13, Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 6:25-33, Proverbs 15:16, Ecclesiastes 5:10 INTRODUCTION In a world where people constantly chase ...read more

    Living In Lack In The Middle Of Abundance

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jul 4, 2025
     | 567 views

    As Christians, if we are called to live in the abundance of God’s provision, love, and grace, why are so many of us living in a mindset of lack—spiritually, emotionally, and even materially? Why do we say that we serve a God of abundance, and settle for scarcity?

    John 10:10 – “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Philippians 4:19 – “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Introduction: As Christians, if we are called to live in the ...read more

    The Deceptive Power Of A Good Excuse

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 29, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,109 views

    Excuses can rob us of God's best. They are an enemy of great faith and accomplishment. In this examination of Luke 14:15-24, we learn from Jesus's story about those who excused themselves from a great feast. Those people missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

    Intro We take as our text today Luke 14:15-24. Follow with me as we read that passage. “Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, ‘Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God! 16 Then He [Jesus] said to him, ‘A certain man gave a great ...read more

    We can’t let go of our idols - our possessions, our pride, our plans - without God's help.

    From the Parable of Jesus, lessons we can learn from the fig tree.

    Lessons from the Fig Tree Luke 13:6-9 * As a primary in Sunday school, my teachers taught me to define a parable in this way: “It is a earthly story told by Jesus which has a heavenly meaning.” I guess the only way I would amend this is to say that it has a “divine” (instead of heavenly) meaning. ...read more
