The Sermon On The Mount (Part 16) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 13, 2020

For many people, their priority in life is material prosperity. When you hear the phrase, 'well off' or, 'well to do', it refers to someone who is wealthy. As we'll see today, those who have stored up treasures in heaven will truly be, 'well off' and 'well-to-do'.

Dios tiene tesoros para darnos. Cosas de mucho valor que quiere darnos, y que estan escondidas, en otras palabras no estan visibles, sino guardadas, como todas las cosas de valor, deben estar. Pero nos da la clave para encontrarlas, porque las tiene reservadas para nosotros.

Rich Towards God

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jul 31, 2025

The Parable of the Rich Fool teaches us not to hoard the blessing God's lavishes upon us. We find ways to share, give, and provide for others in need with a generous spirit.
