Sunday, August 25, 2025 - Granger Smith - Finding True Treasure

In this message, we introduce special guest speaker Granger Smith, a man who spent most of his life as a successful country music artist. But a year ago, he left it all behind to fully follow Jesus. Granger is here to share a powerful message based on Matthew 13:44, a verse where Jesus talks about the Kingdom of Heaven being like a treasure hidden in a field.

Granger opens with a story about Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor who stood strong in his faith even as he faced death in a concentration camp during World War II. Bonhoeffer's courage came from his belief in something greater—a treasure worth more than anything else in life.

As Granger dives into the parable of the hidden treasure, he asks a big question: Do you have eyes for this treasure? He challenges us to think about what we value most and what we’re willing to give up to gain something as priceless as the Kingdom of Heaven. Through this video, Granger encourages us to see the Kingdom of Heaven as something so valuable that losing everything else to gain it is worth it. He reminds us that this treasure is not about money or power, but about a relationship with God that’s open to everyone who seeks it.

Granger’s message is simple but deep: Are we willing to trade our lesser treasures for the one that truly matters?
