Your Treasure Chest

November 29, 2009 | Johnny Pereira

Matthew 6:21 says, "Where your treasure is there your heart will be also." What we value in our "treasure chest" aka "heart" will revolve around one of two things: indulgence or investment. In James 5:1-6, James is addressing people who's view of riches has caused them to be consumed with indulgence on themselves instead of investment in what God values. This message will challenge you to ask yourself, "What is in your treasure chest and are you being obedient to God?"

First Class or Coach?

November 1, 2009 | Johnny Pereira

Too many Christians today are playing favorites. Favoritism is a plague in our Christian circles. We are so quick to judge others who are different from us and forget what God calls us to - living our lives in the light of God's mercy. Praise God that he doesn't play favorites or we all would be in trouble. In James 2:1-13, he challenges the church at Jerusalem to avoid favoritism and instead embrace others with love and mercy. Listen to this message on the danger of favoritism.

James shares with us in 1:19-27 the importance of not being someone who simply hears instruction from the Bible, but one who applies it to their life. So what do you see when you look in the mirror of the Bible?
