TREASURE: 3-Week Children’s Ministry Curriculum will show children the incredible value of knowing Jesus Christ. In today’s world, many people are obsessed with getting rich and imagine it’s the first step to finding happiness. However, the opposite is often the result. Those who chase wealth are often destroyed in the process. Money can be a blessing, but the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. God’s Word offers a better kind of TREASURE for everyone ready to seek it. Over the next 3 weeks, you’ll lead children in that search and help them discover the infinite value of knowing Jesus.

Series Main Idea: Knowing Jesus is the greatest TREASURE!

Gospel Connection: When we believe in Jesus, he forgives our sins, and we discover that knowing him is the greatest treasure in this life. This is a gift from our generous God, not something that money can buy or obedience can earn.

TREASURE: 3-Lesson Curriculum Overview

1. What is Real Treasure? 
   Bible Story: The Value of Wisdom - Proverbs 3:13-15
   Main Idea: True wisdom is more valuable than any material wealth.
   Gospel Connection: The ultimate wisdom is our choice to follow Jesus Christ. He embodies God's wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:24, 30). As we follow Jesus, he gives us eternal life and true fulfillment.
2. Which Treasure Can You Trust?
   Bible Story: The Rich Young Seeker - Mark 10:17-31
   Main Idea: Following Jesus means choosing Him before riches.
   Gospel Connection: The rich young seeker was not ready to let go of his wealth and trust Jesus with his life. Jesus offers us a greater treasure—eternal life and a relationship with Him—that we receive by faith; it’s not for sale and cannot be earned by our efforts.
3. Where is the Treasure Hidden?
   Bible Story: The Pearl of Great Value - Matthew 13:45-46
   Main Idea: The kingdom of heaven is the most valuable treasure and worth giving up everything to obtain.
   Gospel Connection: Jesus is the embodiment of the kingdom of heaven. He gave up everything, even His life, to make this treasure available to us. When we "sell everything" (fully commit our lives to Him), we gain the greatest treasure - salvation and eternal life in God's kingdom.
