Job opening: Seeking dynamic, skilled, hard-working, discerning, fit, clever, generous leaders.

Matthew seeks to put into language what is difficult to describe - the dynamic action of God as we experience it as a part of God’s creation. The kingdom of heaven is God’s enterprise, one Jesus explains to us as an enterprise likened to a humble seed growing trees for nesting birds, or yeast leavening bread dough to feed hungry people, an enterprise of discovery- discovering treasure and selling everything to acquire it. An enterprise of discerning the value of a pearl and investing in it, an enterprise of hard back-breaking effort, casting out nets of heavy rope, then pulling them back in with all that you’ve got, and deciding which fish to keep, and which to toss back.
