On Sunday, April 14, 2024, VLC gathered in person and also broadcast online via YouTube. Pastor Baldemar Serrato shared a message about storing up treasures in heaven. He shared three simple points.

Generosity Encouraged: Sowing Cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:6-7)
Giving special offerings with a joyful heart.
How to Build Treasures in Heaven: Sowing for the Spirit (Galatians 6:7-10)
Giving our lives as an offering to the Lord, following the Holy Spirit’s guidance
Sowing in the Missionary Field (Philippians 4:10-20)
Partnering with missionaries by giving generously so that they can serve others in need in places we can’t easily reach.

We have the opportunity to love God by loving one another through giving to meet others’ needs. This kind of service is honored by the Lord and remembered for us in heaven as a credit for the Lord’s blessings.

“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 6:19-21 (NIV)
No acumulen para sí tesoros en la tierra, donde la polilla y el óxido destruyen, y donde los ladrones se meten a robar. Más bien, acumulen para sí tesoros en el cielo, donde ni la polilla ni el óxido carcomen, ni los ladrones se meten a robar. Porque donde esté tu tesoro, allí estará también tu corazón.
Mateo 6:19-21 (NVI)
