Jesus and the American Dream

July 5, 2026 39:21 Cross Church Surprise

Is following Jesus compatible with the American dream? Or does following Jesus point us to an even greater treasure? Join Pastor Andrew as we take a look at the parable of the hidden treasure on this July 4th weekend sermon.

Matthew 13:44-46 

Is the American dream compatible with following Jesus? 

  1. Every dream begins with a discovery – v. 44a, v. 45 

  1. Every dream demands a death – v. 44b, v. 46 

  1. Every dream ends in a dwelling – v. 44c, v. 46b 

Parabolic Truth: “Following Jesus doesn’t cost you the dream, it just gives you the treasure the dream never could – Mark 10:29-31
