Alive Now: Treasure
Alive Now is a devotional magazine that supports the spiritual lives of small groups as well as individuals. The magazine invites readers to enter an ever-deepening relationship with God, helps them reflect on contemporary issues from a faith perspective, and supports them in acting on these issues.
Each issue of this bimonthly, 48-page magazine focuses on a contemporary topic that impacts the faith life. Divided into sections that move readers through exploration and reflection on the theme, the magazine may be used weekly by individuals or members of small groups. The sections contain scripture, prayers, meditations, stories, poetry, reflection aids, photographs, and art. Seasonal material, both theological and liturgical, is appropriate.
Publication: July/August 2016
Due 11/1/15
Theme: Treasure
In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught the crowd, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). Jesus told the rich ruler to sell all he had and give the money to the poor, and then, he promised, “You will have treasure in heaven” (Luke 18:22). The apostle Paul spoke of the gospel itself as “treasure in clay jars” (2 Corinthians 4:7). What counts as treasure? How do we treat someone or something we treasure? How do we feel when we know we are treasured by another person or by God? How do we respond to that knowledge? What is your greatest treasure?
