The Worth of the Kingdom
March 10, 2019 | Mike Stancak
Passage: Matthew 13:44-52
How do we know when something is truly valuable? Oftentimes it’s when we want something for its own sake, not just so we can use it to get something even better.. Something is valuable when we would lay our possessions or money to get it; and the more stuff we would lay down to get it, the more valuable it must be. This Sunday we learn that nothing is more valuable than the Kingdom and its King. And the amazing truth of the Gospel is that, though the Kingdom is worth anything we could give, God gives it without anything in return.
Series Information
Matthew 12:22 - 20
In the next installment in our Matthew series as we see conflict heating up around Jesus. As his ministry continues, it becomes clear that the values of the Kingdom clash with the arrogance, pride, and apathy of his day, and people start to polarize around him. I'm sure the same will be true of us. At every step we'll find that Jesus' grace is sufficient for the journey, as we learn the way of the Upside-Down Kingdom.
