What truly determines what we value most in life? Pastor John Waterloo examines Jesus' question to his disciples in Mark 8, “Who do you say that I am," and His warning that gaining the whole world means nothing if a person loses his own soul. Drawing on Philippians 3 and Paul's willingness to count worldly gain as loss for Christ, Pastor Waterloo demonstrates that the soul's worth is measured by its price, the death of Jesus Christ, and that our spending and priorities reveal what we truly treasure. In the third sermon of Eastland’s missions conference, listeners are challenged to examine what they value most and commit themselves to the work of seeing souls saved.
