Where Your Heart Is

For the third Sunday of Lent we will be in the middle of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6:19-25), where Jesus is essentially telling his disciples: because treasures in heaven are imperishable (v. 20), they (and we) are to serve God rather than earthly treasure (v. 24). We tend to store up treasures on earth (v. 19), but we must realize that our hearts are set on our treasures (v. 21); and our actions show what we truly treasure (vv. 24-25).

Note: as a small test, 1) this Sunday morning (at 2 a.m.) we set our clocks forward an hour; and 2) there will be a rescheduled Chinese New Year's celebration outside, with our sidewalks constricted. Access to our doors will be limited to the corner of 52nd St and 8th Ave, and for worshipers at 2EFC only. (Look for the signage.)
