Lesson 8 - Parables About the Kingdom

Matthew 13. As a prism reveals the true nature of the light shining through it, Matthew 13 describes the true nature of the Kingdom. It is like seeds on a path, wheat in a field laced with weeds, a mustard seed and a small measure of yeast, buried treasure, a priceless pearl and a fisherman’s net pulled through the water. It is open to all and ever-expanding — but the enemy’s opposition grows alongside it. Those who would follow Christ must truly hear what He has to say and remain faithful until He returns.

Lesson 7 - The Response to the King

Matthew 11 and 12 contain some of the most comforting and most confrontational words Christ spoke to those who heard Him. While some, like the imprisoned John the Baptist, thought He wasn’t moving fast enough, and needed reassurance — others, like the Pharisees, wanted to shut Him down, openly challenging His authority and ultimately deciding to get rid of Him. But there would be no escaping the truths He clearly and plainly spoke — or the inevitable results of rejecting His offer of salvation.

Lesson 6 - A Kingdom of Power

Matthew 9:18—10:42. Jesus continued to demonstrate that His Kingdom was unlike any other — a Kingdom of power and grace open to all who believe and trust in His mercy. He chose twelve disciples and sent them out in that same power to do the same works He had done, opening their eyes to the great harvest awaiting them. And He warned that the same persecution He was already facing awaited them as well. Theirs was a call to be like Him in all things — even to the cross.
