Where is your treasure? Where is your heart?

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The passage in Luke 12:22-34 reminds us not to worry about material things such as food or clothing, as God knows our needs and will provide for us. Instead, we should seek the Kingdom of God and focus on eternal, spiritual things. The Lord tells us not to fear, as it is his pleasure to give us the Kingdom. We should sell what we have and give alms, storing up treasures in heaven where they cannot be destroyed. Our heart will follow where our treasure is.

The current financial crisis has led to a rise in suicides, as people lose their material security and their sense of control over their lives. The article describes several tragic cases where people have taken their own lives due to financial difficulties. The author argues that the perspective of the children of God is different from that of the world, as they place their trust in God and have their affections set on the eternal. They are able to work hard and make great efforts without worrying excessively about material things. The author also references the parable of the rich fool, who had his life planned out but was ultimately unable to control his fate.


The sermon discusses the human desire for control and the consequences of rebelling against God. The speaker uses biblical stories such as the parable of the rich fool, the story of Jesus calming the storm, and the myth of Sisyphus to illustrate these points. He emphasizes the importance of trusting in God and not being anxious or worried. The sermon also highlights the benefits of prayer in times of trial and difficulty, as it can help us remember our eternal nature and keep us focused on Christ. Finally, the speaker reminds the audience that God has good things in store for us, but we must first learn important spiritual lessons and trust in His plan.


The speaker believes that God has good things in store for us despite the current crisis. He encourages his listeners to trust in God's plan and not be afraid or worried. He prays for God to renew their minds and give them peace, and asks for blessings and provision for those who are suffering. The speaker asserts that even in the midst of trials, God is always present and that victory is assured because this life is not our ultimate home. He gives thanks and praise to God.


Let's go to the word of the Lord. I want to share with you this morning precisely, I believe that God has sovereignly directed, without any kind of previous effort, our worship towards a focus of hope, of gratitude to the Lord, in the midst of situations of trials and difficulties such as the ones he is experiencing. this nation.

And I want to bring a message this morning that I hope its effect will be an effect of comfort, an effect of advice and an effect of trust and blessing for our brothers, in times of trials and financial difficulties we have help and relief , and foundation in the word of the Lord.
