Treasure that Lasts

Money reveals our hearts, and our pursuit of treasure often leads to anxiety and slavery. Jesus cares about treasure not because He opposes wealth, but because wealth competes for what He alone deserves, our trust. Generosity can reveal the heart, but it doesn't automatically transform it. True freedom comes from loving Christ most, and when Christ becomes our treasure, everything else takes its proper place.

Jesus' mission is to call sinners to repentance and to offer them forgiveness and salvation. [... more]

Tuesday, October 28 | Pharisees, Sadducees, and the Parable That Exposed Them

The rejection of Jesus by the Jewish leaders is a pivotal moment in history, as it marks a turning point in God's plan for salvation. The Pharisees and scribes, who were supposed to lead God's people in God's way, instead sought to establish their own righteousness and rejected Jesus. Paul explains in Romans 10 that this rejection was not due to ignorance, but rather a hard-hearted refusal to submit to God's righteousness. The passage highlights the importance of faith and confession in receiving salvation, and how the common people, who were not caught up in the religious mafia, were willing to believe and trust in Jesus for salvation.
