Treasure Chest

This message challenges us to examine whether we've placed God in a spiritual treasure box—acknowledging His value but keeping Him confined to Sunday mornings or moments of crisis. Drawing from Hebrews 10, we're reminded that Christ tore the veil, giving us full access to God's presence every single day. The sermon uses the Ark of the Covenant as a profound metaphor, containing the Ten Commandments, manna, and Aaron's rod—representing law, provision, and authority. But here's the convicting truth: many of us treat God like the Israelites treated the Ark, as a good luck charm to pull out when needed rather than the living presence that should permeate every breath we take. We learn about A.K. Miller, a millionaire who lived like a pauper, hoarding his wealth in hidden places—a sobering parallel to Christians who possess the riches of salvation yet live in spiritual poverty. The message calls us to metamorphosis, that complete transformation Paul speaks of in Romans 12. We're not meant to simply follow rules or acknowledge God's provision from a distance. We're invited into intimate relationship, bold access to the throne of grace, and the power to live victoriously every moment. This year, will we dust off the treasure box and actually live in the fullness of what Christ purchased for us on Calvary?
