The Pearl of Great Price

In this stirring message, Pr Kenneth unpacks the beautiful Kingdom truth behind “The Pearl of Great Price” from Matthew 13:45–46. Jesus describes a merchant who discovers a pearl so valuable that he sells everything to possess it — revealing how priceless God’s work in us truly is.

Pr Kenneth connects this parable to a powerful life illustration: pearls don’t form without an irritant. An oyster only produces a pearl when something uncomfortable, painful, or foreign gets inside — and over time, that irritation becomes the very thing that draws out something precious. In the same way, the “irritants” in our lives — pressures, trials, disappointments, and challenges — are often the hidden instruments God uses to shape maturity, character, and spiritual value within us.

This message will help you see your struggles differently: not as pointless pain, but as God’s process of producing treasure in you. What irritates you today may be what God is using to form your pearl of great price tomorrow.
