Pete the Pirate and the Pearl of Great Price

A spectacular treasure that couldn't be beat cost all that he had for a Pirate named Pete. But what a surprise did he learn later, that giving it up brought something far greater. Jesus' parable about the priceless pearl teaches that the Kingdom of God is the greatest treasure, worth far more than everything else (Matthew 13:45-6). Pete the Pirate and the Pearl of Great Price helps kids consider their values and learn about sacrificing for others. They can discover, like Pete, that sometimes giving up the things we cherish can reap great rewards.
