“The Treasure Principle”September 12, 2009

I. Introduction

II. Understanding the Treasure Principle

(Matthew 13:44) “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a manfound it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.”

(Matthew 6:19-21) “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rustdestroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures inheaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
