As many of you know we're going fishing with our brothers and sisters at Holy Trinity this coming Sunday.

What's your greatest treasure? (Matthew 13:44-46)

What things do you value most?

There are plenty of things in life that we love and value. There isn't anything wrong with loving the things God gives us when we use them in they way God intended, but there is something wrong when we love creation over the creator.

Jesus makes it very clear in this passage that having utter commitment and joy is the only right response to being offered the kingdom of heaven.

Why doesn’t Jesus tell us these details in this parable?
Because, it doesn’t matter, that’s not important, but what is important is that both these people had a response to finding the greatest thing they will ever be given. And it was a response of devotion by putting everything else that they own second.

Do you put everything second to Jesus and his authority?

The kingdom is worth giving everything up for. Being excited and then committing everything to God is actually the only appropriate response. If you claim to truly understand how amazing this is that we have Jesus as our Lord, then your response couldn’t be anything else.

This week, guest speaker Nath Sandon came and helped us think through a really familiar passage:

John 3:16

God really does love us so much. The depth of his love is amazing. The extent of his love seen in the action of his son is profound.
