Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30

 

We often wonder why God’s people and the wicked must co-exist together. Jesus answers this in Matthew 13 in the Parable of the Weeds. It is so that God’s people can increase along side those who are not. The question is are you wheat or a weed?

Scripture: Matthew 13:1-23

 

Sometimes the gospel message is received eagerly. Sometimes it is not. According to Matthew 13 the difference is not due to the presentation, but due to the heart of the one hearing it. In the Parable of the Sower Jesus identifies four types of heart responses to hearing the message of the kingdom of God. What type of heart do you have?

Title: The Family of God
Speaker: Pastor Darryl J. Stalter
Scripture: Matthew 12:46-50

 

We are told that everyone is a child of God and that we all are part of God’s family. No matter what we believe or what we do. The problem is that this belief is not biblical and does not match what Jesus taught about the family of God. The true family of God are those who are adopted by Him through the transforming faith in Christ that results in his children looking more and more like Christ.

Title: The Only Sign That Matters
Speaker: Pastor Darryl J. Stalter
Scripture: Matthew 12:38-45

 

In our materialistic and naturalistic world, we demand God show us a sign. We demand a sign that He exists. We demand a sign that He loves us. We demand a sign that He is who He says He is. Although There are many signs that point to God, if we are not careful we will miss the only sign that really matters: The death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
