Nov 30th DQs

What if everything we thought we wanted was actually keeping us from what we truly need? This message takes us into the extraordinary life of Moses, who stood at a crossroads between unimaginable wealth and power in Egypt versus a life of hardship with God's people. Through Hebrews 11:24-26, we discover that Moses refused his royal identity and chose mistreatment over fleeting pleasures because he recognized something profound: Christ is the ultimate treasure. The sermon challenges us to examine our own treasure maps. Where have we placed our X? Are we chasing after comfort, success, relationships, or entertainment while walking away from the cross? Every single one of us is a treasure hunter, whether we realize it or not, and whatever treasure we seek will shape the entire direction of our lives. The message uses powerful imagery to show how distractions compete for our worship, pulling us off course from the path God has set before us. Moses saw through the illusion of worldly treasures and understood they were temporary and fleeting. When we truly grasp who God is and what a relationship with Christ offers, forgiveness, purpose, transformation, and eternal life, everything else loses its luster. The question becomes intensely personal: what safeguards will we put in place to protect ourselves from the allurements of this world? How will we intentionally value Christ as the treasure He truly is?
