🎬 THE PEARL

Matthew 13:44-50 (Below)

Marshall's message challenged us to look at where our hearts are headed. Just like a GPS, we need to make sure we're going in the right direction. The world keeps telling us we need more, but Jesus reminds us that having more doesn't mean we'll be happier or satisfied.

When we put God's Kingdom first, we learn to be generous with what we have and trust God to provide what we need, instead of always worrying about getting more.

WHAT DO I TREASURE?

Marshall's VIDEO took us to the movies through a video clip.

The theater removes distractions and helps us focus on one story.

That became our question:

What has my attention?

Jesus' story of the Pearl challenged us to ask:

Does my life show that I truly value the Kingdom of God?

TAKE IT WITH YOU

Notice what gets your time, attention and energy today.

The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl

44 “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.

45 “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.
