    We are born into the kingdom or God, and like babies in the natural our Father God expects us to grow up.

    There was a group of tourists who were visiting a picturesque village and came upon an old man sitting beside a fence. In a rather patronizing way, one of the tourist asked, “Were any great men born in this village?” The old man replied, “Nope, only babies.” Very true, only Adam and Eve did not ...read more

    Laying Up Treasures

    Contributed by Paul George on Jun 9, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,591 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

The resurrection of Jesus is the basis of our faith. o Easter ...read more

    “Grow up!” Did anyone say that to you this week? If so, why?
