Treasures on earth v treasures on heaven

The theme of sermons at my local church (HBC) just now is of the biblical message : Dont store up treasures on earth but store them in God and Heaven. Most of us are guilty of being materalistic ; we have to have the lastest phone , latest TV and have to keep up with the latest fashion to "fit in" in life. At the HBC junior church (where i help out) the story today was of the man who sold his house to buy a beautiful pearl because he had to have it . If only he was that eager to give up his life to go to heaven then it would be a better story but the truth is we forget to store up treasures on heaven when we are caught up in the world. My message to you is to come to the Lord and focus on your eternal life , and your new home in heaven as the Lord promises heaven will be a better place to live than earth !.
