#DATC2024 opens the second day with a sermon focused on “both” people with disability and those ministering in disability ministry by Ability Ministry Director Ryan Wolfe notes often we approach scripture thinking of Jesus as the treasure. However, what happens we realize “we” are God’s treasure? Drawing from Exodus 19:5
“Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth for all the earth belongs to me.”
Reverend Wolfe also draws from Deuteronomy 7:6 and offers us a moment to see how “special” we are and the people we minister with.
