What would make you sell everything you own—your house, your car, even your prized possessions—without hesitation? In Matthew 13, Jesus tells two short but powerful stories: a hidden treasure and a priceless pearl. Both reveal one truth—there’s nothing that compares to the treasure found in Him.
In this message, Preaching Minister, Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., explores why the Kingdom of Heaven is worth everything, how to safeguard your faith, and why even “good things” can become dangerous substitutes for grace.
