Listen "The Joy of Letting Go"

Episode Synopsis

In the first message of our series, "Parables & Promises" Pastor Jorge challenges us to find joy in letting go and embracing the kingdom of heaven wholeheartedly. The parable of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great value (Matthew 13:44-46) reminds us that encountering God's kingdom should spark such joy that we're willing to give up everything for it. This isn't about material sacrifice, but about reorienting our priorities and perspective. Are we living with an eternal mindset, or are we too focused on temporary pursuits? The message urges us to consider what truly matters in light of God's ongoing work in the world. Just as a mustard seed grows into a large tree, God's kingdom is advancing, often in ways we can't see. How can we align ourselves with this divine movement and respond with complete commitment to God's gracious gift of participation in His rule?
