This collection of resources is centered around the parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price. Both of these parables offer the central lesson that nothing in this world compares to the surpassing worth of knowing God and enjoying a right relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. May we boldly proclaim to our churches the wonderful truth that the truly rich person is not the one with many worldly successes and possessions, but the one who has been found in the blood of the Lamb.
