What can never be stolen from you? In this message, Pastor Mark Johnson walks through Luke 12 and the words of Jesus: “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

Jesus warns against greed (Luke 12:15) and the foolishness of storing up treasure for ourselves while not being rich toward God (Luke 12:20–21). Then He points us to something better: treasure in heaven that no thief can reach, because “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Luke 12:33–34).

Along the way, Pastor Mark shows that the kingdom is not just a someday promise — it is ours today. Our identity is rooted in the Father’s voice over His children (Luke 3:22), and our inheritance is “imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you” (1 Peter 1:4). Like the rich young ruler (Luke 18:22–23) and Zacchaeus (Luke 19:8–9), we are invited to hold earthly things loosely, and like the early church we receive the promised Spirit as a guarantee of our inheritance (Ephesians 1:13–14; Acts 2:38–39).

Just as a phone backed up to the cloud can be fully restored, our lives are backed up by God. What He has promised us is truly unstealable.
