Observations on a Sunday Flea Market – audio

A flea market is not a bad thing.

In fact, it can be fun to mix with people, eat some junk food (some people call it fair food) and shop for stuff you really don’t need.  But should this be a higher priority than meeting to worship with the Lord’s Church?

Sunday, September 16th, was a big Gahanna Flea Market.

The flea market was already booming as we passed through Gahanna at 9:00 Sunday morning and it made me sad to think all these people would come to a flea market instead of worshiping God.  Here are some pictures I took on the way home.

For the sake of stuff, many are entering the wide gate that leads to destruction – Matthew 7:13-14

Instead, their feet need to follow a different way, accepting direction from the Lord – Jeremiah 10:23-24

Only by giving stuff up and valuing the Lord will we be of value to the Lord.

When Jesus comes again, will we have valued Him as treasure? – Matthew 13:44

Will he find us just and find value in us?  Will he find us to be:

• A Pearl of Great Price – Matthew 13:45-46
• Good – Matthew 13:47-48

At the end of the world, the wicked will be severed from the just and cast away – Matthew 13:49-50

Will you be numbered with the wicked or the just?

Are you holding on to your stuff instead of to the Lord?

If you don’t like your answer, now is the time to change – 2 Corinthians 6:2
