From Dawn to Doctrine
After extensive study of Christianity and as a follower of Jesus Christ, I am launching a podcast aimed at new believers, with the goal of educating both new and seasoned Christians. I will clearly explain the “whys” behind core Christian beliefs, addressing a gap in modern churches, particularly in the West. Many churches focus on the positivity of following Jesus, diluting doctrine to attract attendees rather than nurturing deep faith. This creates lukewarm Christians who often leave more confused than before. Church should be a place to learn about creation, sin, Jesus’ redemption, and God’s ultimate victory, not a cult of positivity. On this podcast we aim to fill the gap!
From Dawn to Doctrine
S2E2: Treasures in Heaven
This episode, we want to take you on a journey through one of the most profound teachings of our Lord: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew chapter 6 verses 19 through 21, NIV). These words aren’t just a poetic aside; they are a blueprint for the meaning of life. They challenge us to redefine what we value, to shift our gaze from the fleeting to the forever. And in exploring this, we’ll draw from the wisdom of the saints, the Scriptures, and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. By the end of this speech, I pray you’ll see that storing up treasures in heaven isn’t about renouncing joy in this life—it’s about discovering the true joy that transcends it.
