The ornateness of heaven and the value of material things
Why is Heaven so rich when material things don’t matter? First, we have to examine whether material things really matter or not. If material things did not matter, then God would not have created material things in the beginning and declared that they were good. It is true that when we place a priority and value on material things over devotion to God, care for other people, and even our own spiritual well-being that there is a problem. Concerning material things, the Bible tells us that God has given us all things richly to enjoy. We must keep everything

Olivet Discourse Sermon Series
How can we connect the teachings of the Old Testament with the New Testament when it comes to the second coming of Christ and the tribulation on earth that immediately precedes? Jesus gives us two chapters (Matthew 24-25) that work like a Rosetta Stone of prophecy. Beginning October 9, 2022, Pastor Carl Wood will walk through eight messages on these verses that give helpful insight into “the beginning of sorrows” (Matt 24:8). Although this is a time of great tribulation on earth, Jesus indicated that His teaching on this topic was so you would “not be troubled” (Matt 24:6).
