About this sermon

Jesus reveals that the kingdom of heaven is a treasure beyond compare, worth giving up everything to gain. In His parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price, He calls us to wholehearted commitment, reminding us that true joy is found in surrender to Him. Following Christ means exchanging temporary pursuits for lasting fulfillment, where sacrifice leads not to regret but to eternal joy. Message based on Matthew 13:44-46 Quotes: Carlisle Marni: There is no agony in life like the fear you have paid too much. Calvin Miller: The world is poor because all of er fortune is buried in the sky and all of her treasure maps are of the earth. Alan Redpath: We can never truly pray "Your kingdom come," until we are ready to pray, "My kingdom go." William Barclay: The will of God is no grey, grim, agonizing thing. D.A. Carson: The kingdom of heaven is worth infinitely more than the cost of discipleship, and those who know where the treasure lies joyfully abandon everything else to secure it. If we knew the incredible value of God's rule and reign in our lives, we would gladly give up everything else to have it! Augustine of Hippo: Oh God you have made us for yourself and we are restless until we find rest in you. Why would we give up everything for Him? Because he did it for us! Not only is he our treasure, but we are his! Jim Elliott: He is not a fool to give up that which he can not keep to gain that which he can not lose! Thank you for joining us online!
