I heard a financial teacher once say this. “Think about the words ‘real estate.’ Did you know that the word ‘real’ comes from the same place as the word ‘royal’ — and if you don’t think you belong to the king, just try not paying your taxes!”

Now I wouldn’t bet my life on that word study, but it’s a good reminder…and the source of today’s focus question…Whose real estate do you manage?

Why was Jesus' reference to salt such a big deal?

Where does the Trinity appear together in the Bible? The most clear example is here in Matthew 3.

So…there’s Matthew, a Jew writing to an audience that’s most likely Jewish and Jewish Christians, and the first starts right off with stuff that’ll rock their worlds.
