Cary Cox, from Matthew 13:44-46. Through two short parables Jesus teaches that the Kingdom of God is the great Treasure, though its infinite worth is hidden from many.

Kingdom47 – Captivated by the Kingdom of Heaven – Mat6 19-24
Pastor Cary Cox, from Matthew 6:19-24. The Kingdom of God captivates us (arrests, captures, holds our attention) and becomes our great Treasure! When repentance comes we are never the same. Jesus becomes our all-satisfying Delight, and the things of this world lose their grip on our souls.
