VALUE......DO I HAVE ANY?

The topic this week was all about treasures and value. What treasure? What value? Do I have any of either? Where do I get it?

This all came together with the Parable of the Treasure and the Pearl. It seems that when we read over these parables, we assume that the treasure is Jesus and we can sell everything we have to purchase the treasure. Sweet! or......NOT! That is not the theme of the new covenant at all. Instead, trying looking at this with Jesus' eyes and wisdom and maybe we will see that WE are the treasure. WE have value to Jesus....so much so that He gave up everything HE had to come down here and purchase us with His blood. Pretty cool, huh!!!!

On the flip side, we also looked at the value of camp and the treasure we need to find to purchase that. So.....a car wash is in the planning. And so is a dinner and Karaoke night of some sort. The Planning Committee will meet Tuesday at 5:45....come on over if you want to help plan. AND THEN.....Ground Zero is going to be at Etowah High School this Tuesday to watch our fellow "GROUNDERS' perform in a concert. I hope everyone can come. If you are not in the planning meeting, just meet us at the Etowah Auditorium at 6:45.

Have a great week!
