What's the Kingdom Worth?
This week we consider two short related parables from Jesus: the parable of the hidden treasure and the parable of the pearl of great price. Both deal with questions around the cost and value of the kingdom. Just what is the Kingdom of God worth?

Reflection Questions
1) Have you ever felt misunderstood by others about why you valued something? What was that experience like? How did you help them see? 2) In both parables, how does the man respond who finds the valuable object? 3) What is the does it look like for us to "sell all that we have" in order to become part of the Kingdom of God? 4) Tsion connected this parable to story of Jesus's encounter with the rich young ruler (Matthew 19:16- 22) . In what ways did the rich young ruler value the kingdom? In what ways did he not? 5) How does your own life reflect the degree to which you, personally, value the Kingdom of God?
