Apr 23, 2023The Treasure PrincipleBy: Phil PeacockSeries: The Treasure Principle“You can’t take it with you, but you can send it ahead.” Matthew 6:19-21 - “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 moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” For Christians, “treasures” is not a dirty word— when properly understood.
- Earthly treasures are temporary and come with many temptations.
- Heavenly treasures are eternal and share the values of God.
- There is a connection between how we approach money and possessions and the strength of our spiritual lives.
- We send our treasures ahead when we invest in the things God values!

Apr 16, 2023Our Hearts Burning Within UsBy: Phil PeacockSeries: (All)On the afternoon of the first Easter Sunday, two followers of Jesus were walking the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. Jesus began walking with them, but they didn’t immediately recognize him. In a short time, Jesus was able to open their eyes and rekindle their faith. After he left them, they said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32) How are we able to regain or maintain our spiritual fervor?
- Spend time in the presence of the Living Lord.
- Study the scriptures for inspiration and understanding.
