Summary
Today as we continue our week on being poor in spirit, we’ll assess our hearts regarding storing up treasures on earth verses in heaven. We see this theme repeatedly in the words of Jesus, and it is my prayer we’re able to heed his words and embrace what they mean for us. As we seek to have one devotion today, may our hearts be fully open to the One who’s worthy.
Our Scripture for today comes from Matthew 6:33, and today's worship is More Than Enough by Jesus Culture feat. Kim Walker-Smith.

Message From Craig:
We're launching a summer initiative partnering with generous donors like you to rapidly guide more believers to the presence of God through First15. And I need your help.
I ask you to prayerfully consider what you are able to give today to help us reach more people with First15. For every $1 you can give today, we can bring a real person into consistent connection with God. That’s a real person spending time daily in worship, reading, and prayer. That’s a real person going into their day with love to give, because they’ve met with Love himself.
Thank you for your continued generosity and prayers. We cannot do this without you.
