A Measure of Value

This week Wopsle discusses the parables of the treasure and the pearl to discover not only how we should value the Kingdom of God, but how the Kingdom of God values us. A Measure of Value Storyteller | Week 6 July 2, 2017 | Michael Wopsle Matthew 13:44-46 (NIV) 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. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. The Kingdom of God understands value. Matthew 13:45-46 (NIV) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. Ephesians 5:25 (ESV) Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, Titus 3:5 (ESV) He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. “Use the means as vigorously as if you were to be saved by your own efforts, and yet trust as entirely to the grace of God as if you made use of no means whatsoever” - Archibald Alexander “We slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.” - D.A.
