Searching for Hidden Treasure

Matthew 13:44-46

What's the Same

Parabolic Theme:

God's Kingdom Reigns in my Life

Romans 14:17

For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Big Idea:

The Kingdom of Heaven is worth everything

About the Kingdom

Things to Know About the Kingdom:

  • The Kingdom of Heaven=Kingdom of God
  • Entrance to the Kingdom=through Jesus
  • Kingdom of Heaven=living and doing the will of God
  • Jesus gives the keys to the Kingdom to us
  • Kingdom is now but also not yet.

The Kingdom is Hidden in Plain Sight--vs.44

Things Found by Accident:

The Kingdom of God is a PARTY!

Philippians 3:7-9

7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in[a] Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.

  • If we have Jesus, we could lose everything and still have joy, because we still have everything!

  • We leave everything realizing it costs us nothing and gained us everything.

Looking for the Kingdom

Jeremiah 29:13

If you seek me with all your heart, you will find me

The Condition of the Kingdom=Look for it with all your heart--vs.45

The Kingdom is Priceless, it's above all else--vs.45

Proverbs 3:13-15

“Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more previous than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.”

Jesus invites us to consider the value of the Kingdom and to treasure it for what it’s worth. The cost is the same, everything, and the reward is the same, everything!

  • Am I in the Kingdom?

  • Who's Kingdom am I really building? Mine or Jesus'

  • Am I treasuring the Kingdom?

  • Am I ready for the Return of the King?

Pray this week:

Your kingdom come, Your will be done in my life as it is in Heaven.
