Is Jesus really worth it?

Ninth Sunday after PentecostBible Readings: 1 Kings 3:5–12, Matthew 13:44-52, 1 Timothy 6:17-21Worship Folder: https://bit.ly/4ftwhuWPastor Paul TullbergSermon text: Matthew 13:44-52The Treasure, the Pearl, and the Net44 “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again. In his joy, he goes away and sells all that he has and buys that field.45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls. 46 When he found one very valuable pearl, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. 48 When the net was filled, they pulled it onto the shore. They sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but threw the bad ones away. 49 That is how it will be at the end of the world. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous who are among them. 50 And they will throw the wicked into the fiery furnace where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 51 Jesus said to them, “Did you understand all these things?”They answered him, “Yes.”52 He said to them, “Therefore every expert in the law who has been trained as a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his treasure both new things and old things.”The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage Version®, EHV®, © 2019 Wartburg Project, Inc.
