Be Ready To Receive Help Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Receiving And Rejecting The Light

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 17, 2021

Receiving Treasure In Heaven

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022

Our treasure on earth eclipses our desire for "treasure in heaven." Only God can give us a desire for "treasure in heaven." Therefore, we must forsake our treasure on earth and follow Jesus to receive "treasure in heaven."

You will notice how this passage begins. We are told that Jesus ‘was setting out on his journey’ (v. 17). And we know where that journey will lead. It will take Jesus to Jerusalem, where a cross awaits Him. He has already foretold His death twice in recent days, and He will speak of it again—in ...read more
