To get you ready and familiar with Exodus, read Exodus 7-15:21; it will probably take you 20 minutes and might just be your best 20 minutes all week. Read that section and then post on this blog some of your observations. What are you seeing? What did God impress on your heart from the text? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Treasuring God; Loving People
These last two weeks, we've focused on the "treasuring God" part of that slogan. Do you remember why we treasure God from Philippians 3?... Because nothing surpasses the worth of knowing Jesus! If nothing surpasses that worth than he is indeed our greatest treasure.
I'd love to hear what God impressed on your heart from these messages. What was the big takeaway for you?
Let me ask one more question: God, in his mercy, doesn't ask most of us actually lose everything to know him. I believe this passage makes clear we need to be ready to, but, it seems, God doesn't put that ultimately to the test. Unless you are a guy like Job, we don't really lose everything... except when we die (think about that). But we need to be ready to.
So here's the question: how do you cultivate in your heart a readiness to lose it all for Jesus when he so often doesn't take everything? How do you make this real?
