33rd Anniversary Celebration

What do you value most in life? “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up.”— Matthew 13:44 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”— Matthew 13:45-46 1. Is Jesus our greatest treasure? If Jesus is our greatest treasure, that will be evident in how hard we chase after Him. If you need something in addition to Jesus to make you happy, that’s your true King. “But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.”— Philippians 3:7–8 2. Are we willing to do whatever it takes to advance the gospel? Real growth is not about what you can do for Jesus, it’s about standing in awe of what Jesus has already done for you.
