"The Treasure of the Kingdom" | Matthew 13:44-46 

We explore the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price in Matthew 13. Jesus teaches that the kingdom of heaven is worth giving up everything with joy because of the surpassing value of knowing Him.

This sermon invites us to examine what we treasure most and challenges us to see Jesus as our greatest joy and ultimate treasure. From the examples of Peter, John, Matthew, Zacchaeus, Mary, the early church, Paul, and Stephen, we see what it looks like to joyfully give up everything for the sake of Christ.

Key points:

Joy is found in seeing Jesus as the treasure.

The kingdom of God is not a loss, but pure gain.

Earthly treasures fade, but Jesus remains forever.

When Christ is our treasure, fear, anxiety, and burdens lose their grip.

Whether you’re burdened, anxious, or longing for more, this message is a reminder that Jesus is the treasure that never fails.
