Category: Matthew – The Kingdom

Building on our series about the Kingdom of God, that is so keenly displayed in our two familiar parables, this week we’re looking at ways to maintain our zeal for God’s kingdom, in a challenging, sinful world. It brings us back to the central point in our faith: the cross of Christ.

This week we’ll sum up with a look at how we maintain our access to the Treasure and ultimately claim the crown of eternal life from our Lord and Saviour: Jesus Christ.

A continuation of our study into what it means to love the buried treasure and pearl of great price Jesus refers to in Matthew 13:44-46 when He is talking about the Kingdom of Heaven.

In this third part we’ll look at how our love for the treasure should motivate us to seek it at any cost.

In this second part, we will look at the more immediate aspects of our lives and the choices we have to make.

We’re continuing our series in Kingdom Parables. We come today to two parables about seeking treasure. What is this treasure, and how do we seek it?

The second sermon in our series on Jesus’s “Kingdom Parables” looks at how the Kingdom starts small and becomes large. Appearances can be deceiving, and we must have confidence that God will complete His work.

In this series Ian Bayne walks us through Jesus’s Kingdom parables in Matthew 13, establishing a kingdom that his active and expanding; relevant now and for eternity. Jesus’s parable will be familiar to many of us, telling of seeds scattered over different types of soil. What does it mean for us?
