Heart Treasure

by Oliver Heywood

A rich exposition of Matthew 12:35, exploring what it means to store up spiritual treasure in the heart. Heywood guides believers through the nature and necessity of this inward wealth — encompassing holy truths, graces, experiences, and comforts — and offers practical directions for cultivating and maintaining a treasury of godly thoughts. Originally preached as sermons at Coley in Yorkshire, this work blends deep pastoral wisdom with earnest exhortation toward a life of spiritual readiness and heavenly-mindedness.
