On Sunday, Pastor Joe delivered Part 2 of his *My Heart’s Treasure* sermon as he continued through the Gospel of Luke, reading from Luke 12:22-34. Last week, Jesus shared the Parable of the Rich Fool and reminded us that if we are rich in things but not rich toward God, we are missing what truly matters. This week’s passage picks up with Jesus explaining why.
Jesus tells us, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life.” (Luke 12:22) He points to the birds of the air, the lilies of the field and even the grass, reminding us that God cares for His creation. If God takes care of these things, how much more will He care for us?
We don't need to live our lives consumed by anxiety, worry or fear. Instead, we are called to put our faith and trust in God rather than placing our trust in the things of this world. Jesus reminds us, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Luke 12:34)
Pastor Joe challenged us to consider: Is God my treasure? And if not, what am I putting above Him? He also challenged everyone this week to pray Deuteronomy 30:6 and ask God to change your heart, to help you love Him with all your heart and all your soul and to make Him the treasure of your heart.
