Welcome to Wellspring Church!
What is the Kingdom of God really worth? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters helps us see how the gospel calls us to recognize, treasure and pursue what matters most—even when the Kingdom feels hidden or ordinary.
Looking at Matthew 13:44–46, Billy unpacks two brief parables of treasure and pearls. One man stumbles upon it, the other searches—but both give up everything in joy to have it. So what does it mean to live that way?
📖 Key Themes in This Message:
🔹 Why we often miss the Kingdom: distraction, fear and the lure of the surface
🔹 How Jesus invites us to “joyful sacrifice” in light of ultimate reality
🔹 The hidden, ordinary nature of the Kingdom—and how that challenges our expectations
🔹 Choosing to “will the one thing” and keep the main thing the main thing
We live in a world of fireworks and noise, but Jesus invites us to lift our eyes to the true horizon: the reign of God breaking in. We don’t want to be like Ronald Wayne—selling out our share in something priceless. Instead, we’re called to live as people who’ve found the treasure and joyfully rearranged everything around it.
