Sermon - August 6, 2017 - The Christian Seeks Spiritual Wealth

The sermon for Sunday, August 06, 2017 is based on Matthew 13:44-52

 

Today's Focus: The Christian Seeks Spiritual Wealth.  This Sunday's readings (1 Kings 3:5-12, 1 Timothy 6:17-21, and Matthew 13:44-52) are centered around the very ancient Prayer of the Day.  For nearly 1,600 years God's people on this day have prayed that God might give them true spiritual wealth.  "Teach us always to ask according to your will that we may never fail to obtain the blessings you have promised."  What a magnificent prayer for the materialist world in which we live!  Our readings today show people who have come into great wealth, but yet this earthly wealth only serves to illustrate where true treasure lies.  Today we see that true, spiritual wealth can only be found in God and his eternal blessings for us in Christ.
