This past Sunday at First Assembly, Pastor Ben Johnson continued our Parables: Stories Jesus Told series with a message titled “Worth Everything.” Teaching from the parables in Matthew 13, Pastor Ben spoke on the hidden treasure and the pearl of great value. Those who discover the kingdom respond with total surrender, giving up everything to obtain it. We were reminded that the kingdom of God is priceless, deeply personal, brings joy, and has already been paid for by Jesus, who came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). When we truly grasp its value, the kingdom is worth everything.
✍️ Notes
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. (NIV) Matthew 13:44-46
Matthew 13 Parables:
⭑ The Sower: The word of the kingdom is shared; hearts receive it differently.
⭑ Wheat and Weeds: Good and evil grow until God’s judgment.
⭑ Mustard Seed & Leaven: The kingdom starts small and spreads.
⭑ Treasure & Pearl: The kingdom is worth everything.
The Kingdom:
⭑ It's priceless.
⭑ It's personal.
⭑ It's joyful.
⭑ It's paid for.
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”Luke 19:10 (NIV)
