Earthly treasures are a house of cards
Continuing on in our lessons about being empowered testimonies of Jesus, we examined Jesus’ teachings regarding the value of the kingdom of God and its formation in the hearts of those who believe.
A heart with divided loyalties cannot fulfill the great commission.
God has got to become our focus, delight and only desire and we will have eyes filled with light, be good tress bearing good fruit and our treasure will once again be Him and Him alone!

Storing up what you Treasure Pt. 2
Don’t you know God knows?
That was the somewhat impromptu theme of the message today.

Whiter than Snow
These Psalms are intense! We begin in Psalm 50 where Israel begins to be confronted regarding their nations sins. This is the judgment leading to the 400 years of silence and culminates in their eventual rejection of their Messiah. This warning is very somber!
Psalm 51 is one of the most heart felt examples of an inwardly defeated man who has come to face the absolute worst within him. The words themselves are practically wet with sweat, as David turns to God for either forgiveness or rejection. The response of David when confronted by Nathan offers one of the most stark comparisons between a genuine heart of repentance and a heart of religious pretense when compared with the heart response of Saul when confronted about his sin by Samuel.
Comparatively Saul’s sins seem almost trivial in that they were able to be righted, while the actions and results of David’s sins were perminent. Yet, God forgives David and rejects Saul. There is MUCH in this Psalm that offers instruction to us in our sin and about God Who alone can forgive.
Psalms 52 and 53 address the beginning of Saul’s unjust pursuit of David’ life and it’s perils and a contemplation of David regarding the heart of the aethiest.
These are no lightweight topics and are worth much more than the hour we placed into their examination tonight, but will hopefully bait all who listen to continue in their study.
