Treasure Hunters
Mar 06 2022 • Dan Kent, Greg Boyd, Osheta Moore
Jesus once said: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Each one of us has “treasures,” and they shape and influence everything about how we live. In this section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus challenges us to think carefully about our priorities. Is our treasure and trust in God and his Kingdom, or something else altogether?

Fireproof Treasure
• Greg Boyd

What Are You Looking At?

Beloved Hypocrite
• Greg Boyd
In this sermon, Greg teaches on Matthew 6:16-21, where we’re told to fast in secret, unlike the "hypocrites" who put fasting on display for public applause. Our reward for secrecy is the beauty of the character that we develop when we learn how to be singularly motived by God’s will rather than social applause. This leads to two questions: How is this secret relationship with our Father going, and what really motivates us?Topics: Disciplines, Prayer
