Treasure

Everyone loves a good treasure hunt, right?! Remember the 1950 movie Treasure Island starring young Jim Hawkins and the pirate Long John Silver? The movie has good guys and bad guys, but more importantly the hunt for a buried treasure is at the center of the story line. Today, you can even plan a vacation in which you can hire on to search for sunken treasure. I think I might put that on my "bucket list". Who doesn't enjoy the idea of finding something of great value which others have overlooked?

Jesus spoke about treasure in Matthew 6.  He counseled, "Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.  Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal."  (Matthew 6:19-20, NLT)

I want to encourage you to think about those things which you treasure in life.  Make a list and join us Sunday as we consider Jesus' words concerning treasure and our hearts.  See you Sunday at the ARC (9:30 and 10:15 AM)
