Matthew 13:47-52

TEXT:  Matthew 13:47-52

INTRO:  The Kingdom of God is not merely something we receive; it is something we steward. Jesus has taught us that the Kingdom begins like a seed, grows amid a broken world, and is worth giving everything to obtain. But every treasure comes with a responsibility. The King has entrusted His people with the truth of His Kingdom while we await His return. Until that day comes, we are called to keep growing in our understanding of God's truth, to share that truth with those around us, and to live with a readiness that reflects our hope in the coming King.

OUTLINE:
1.  NOW:  We Have A Great Treasure
2.  NOT YET: A Day of Judgement is Coming
3.  RESPONSIBILITY:  Be Ready, Grow, and Share
