WHAT gives you a sense of security? Is it money in the bank, your home and family or a new T-registered car?

These days, it's unlikely to be the knowledge that you have a good, secure job!

However, banks and stock markets can collapse, more families are breaking up than ever before, and that shiny new car is very vulnerable indeed!

For a secure future, we need to invest, not in things which may lose their value or be taken from us, but in something which will last for eternity, and which no-one can steal from us.

Jesus told His followers 'Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven .... for where your treasure is, there will be your heart also'.
