Friday I went and hung out with a few people that I like to call crazy Christians.... I had a hard day at work and honestly I wasn’t in a great mood. But somehow being there invigorated me more than any pay i did or didn’t get. .....
I find that the kingdom of God is of GREAT value.

Today we are going to discuss the Kingdom of God and it’s great value.
The value unrecognized.
The value unrecognized.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
ro 1:28
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

“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.

Giving up everything does not equal horrible sacrifice… it read the parable that it’s with great joy he purchases the field
Kingdom is a Merchant
Kingdom is a Merchant
It’s the merchant not the pearl.
This bought a great challenge.
Many commentators would literally describe the kingdom as the pearl
How do you know?.... It says it.
Merchant
with the current
doing business.. finding things of value to sell
Is the merchant Jesus
IS the nechant me
it’s about the seeking
run the race
all your heart all your soul all your mind
lay down your life for brothers
even the parable - accept and hear - guard their heart
