God's Treasure Chest
God's Treasure Chest Part 1
Pastor Michael Booker
Part 1 of “God’s Treasure Chest” was preached at the annual church picnic and was not filmed. That sermon was the foundation for the series and made the point that all the things in the earth that we consider to be treasures are buried in the earth – gold, diamonds, rubies, etc., but God has buried treasures in us that are far more valuable.
God's Treasure Chest Part 3
Pastor Michael Booker
In part 3 of “God’s Treasure Chest” Pastor Michael Booker explains how natural diamonds are formed in an atmosphere of heat and pressure. In our lives, God uses “heat and pressure” to do a work in us. This message explores several other interesting parallels between the mining of diamonds and the treasures that God is attempting to mine out of our lives.
God's Treasure Chest Part 4
Pastor Michael Booker
Part 4 of “God’s Treasure Chest” is Pastor Michael Booker’s explanation of how we get the resources of heaven flowing through us in a process of faith and obedience in the giving of tithes and offerings. This practice is not really a money issue – it’s an issue of the heart. Our citizenship is of the Kingdom of God and we should function differently than the world around us. That kingdom is within us and we take it with us wherever we go.
God's Treasure Chest Part 5
Pastor Michael Booker
In “God’s Treasure Chest” part 5, Pastor Michael Booker reveals a key to flourishing in your walk with God. Using Psalm 92:12-15, he uncovers the reasons that the Holy Spirit used the palm and the cedar tree in this passage of scripture as an example of the benefits of being committed to a local body. If you are planted in a church, being disengaged in the life of that church is not an option.
God's Treasure Chest Part 6
Pastor Michael Booker
In part 6 of “God’s Treasure Chest”, Pastor Michael Booker scripturally explains why the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a valid and valuable experience for Christians today. As Christians, we need the power of the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the kingdom of God on earth by letting Him help unearth the treasures He has placed within us. Pastor Booker takes on the objections of those who dispute the reality of this experience and carefully shows scriptural proof for its validity.
God's Treasure Chest Part 7
Pastor Michael Booker
In the last sermon in the series, “God’s Treasure Chest”, Pastor Michael Booker reminds us that we have within us all the resources of heaven to bring the kingdom of God to earth. There are promises in the Word of God for every situation in our lives that we can access through faith and obedience – not for selfish purposes, but so that we can be the expression of Jesus to others.
