Jesus Fulfills Prophecy

Through speaking in parables Jesus fulfills prophecy, gives a timeline for the end, and reveals His joy at the purchasing of His church.

The Dragnet

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet where many are gathered and separated based on faith in Christ. Revelation that has been given to the disciples is compared to old treasure and new treasure.

The Descent of Herod

Ignoring our convictions and the dangers of our environment will lead to a conscience that is seared. 

Who’s Leading?

Through influence of the religious leaders Israel is led into ignorance of righteousness. But Jesus who is Lord of the Sabbath heals the multitude on the Sabbath and leads the Gentiles through the door of salvation.

As we draw nearer to the second coming of Christ, we are to expect a great apostasy, as deceiving spirits from the kingdom of darkness war against the kingdom of heaven.

Good and Evil

If one rejects the convictions of the Holy Spirit, he cannot be forgiven. The evil Jewish leadership was incapable of seeing that Christ was good; nor could they see that He fulfilled the signs of prophecy.

The Family

Here in our study in Matthew, Jesus reiterates Jewish history through a parable and reveals how to become part of His family.

Ears to Hear

Through parables Jesus Christ conceals His message to the hard hearted and reveals His mysteries those who have ears to hear.

The Parable of the Sower

While we call this parable “The Sower and the Seeds” it is a parable about the soil and the four types of human heart the soil depicts. It is also the key to understanding the other parables.

Instructions to “Sent Ones”

Jesus is now sending out the twelve. But His people today must also see themselves as being sent out as well. We are called to be Ambassadors of Christ. What is an ambassador to do and how are they to behave? Join us as we hear from our Christ concerning how He desires to be represented to this fallen world.
