Truths About Treasures | Shawn Prokes - Faith Development Pastor

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Trace Church. In this powerful post-Christmas message, Pastor Shawn Prokes teaches a timely and deeply biblical message about what we treasure and why it matters. Before the sermon begins, we invite you to pause the video and gather communion elements. Grab bread or crackers to represent the body of Christ and juice to represent His blood. We will take communion together at the end of this message. In Truths About Treasures, Pastor Shawn walks through Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6 and helps us understand the difference between earthly treasures that fade and heavenly treasures that last. Using personal stories, Scripture, and practical application, this sermon challenges us to examine our hearts and reorient our lives around what truly matters. This message covers: • What Scripture says we should not treasure • What Scripture calls us to treasure • How our hearts function as a storehouse • Why we must make room to follow Jesus fully • The truth that God treasures us first • Why getting treasures right helps us get Christmas right This sermon is especially meaningful for the season after Christmas, when we reflect on what we value and how we step into a new year with purpose. Pastor Shawn reminds us that treasuring Jesus is not about guilt or materialism but about living with a gospel-shaped heart. At the conclusion of the message, we share communion together, remembering the body and blood of Christ and the greatest treasure of all, Jesus Himself.
