    God's Hidden Kingdom

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jul 25, 2011
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,735 views

    What God is doing is hidden. It must be searched for and we must have eyes to see. When we believe this, it changes the way we see life and how we live.

    I am one of those people who sometimes wishes that God would show his power and do something spectacular. I would like to see some fire fall from heaven, or hear God shout from his throne. It would prove to some people that he is there and that he is powerful. I wish I could lay my hands on ...read more

    Understanding what it means for us when Jesus compares the kingdom of heaven to fine pearls

    INTRO What lady doesn’t like pearls? I know mine does. A number of years ago, when Hallie was just a little tike, a Chinese man we knew gave Danielle a string of pearls as a gift. Okay — not what you’re thinking. We were considering bringing this man into our (former) ...read more

    The Parable Treasure And Pearl / I Surrender All

    What, then, do the parables teach? Church fathers such as Irenaeus and Augustine identified the treasure and the Pearl with Christ. The recent convert to Christianity says exactly the same thing: "I found Christ." Yes, it seems like we did find Christ.

    In his series of seven parables in Chapter 13, Matthew is quite elaborate ....... on the first two, providing an interpretation for each. The other five are shorter and more pointed in content. The parables of the hidden treasure and of the pearl consists of two sentences each. And in the ...read more

    Something we don't want in our life.

    What our Lord is trying to get across to us. "What does the meal represent?" Very likely many of them would think back to the very first time the phrase "three measures of meal" appears in the Scriptures. It is in Genesis 18. Abraham was in his tent by the oaks of Mamre one day and he looked ...read more

    The Great Pearl

    Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Oct 7, 2011
     | 5,748 views

    Pearl-It’s the only gem that can’t be improved by man. You can cut and polish a diamond, ruby and other stones. BUT … if you begin to mess with a pearl, you ruin it. It’s perfect when it’s formed.

    The man who is searching for the pearls is, Jesus himself. "What other great treasure does God value in this world?" -- in order to discover what this pearl means. The church. Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, ... that he might present the church to himself in splendor, ...read more

    The question isn't what is the treasure. The question is what is the Kingdom like? The answer is: a treasure

    It is a serendipitous story, which is a story about serendipity. Serendipity, isn’t that a great word? It is probably one of my favourite words. You know what serendipity means right?

    This is another parable fo which Jesus offers an interpreation. As a kingdom parable, this parable teaches how God’s Kingdom can be presently at work breaking into this world at the same time that evil is also at work.

    We examine the two paralell parables of the treasure in the field and the pearl of great price. These are two parables that Jesus uses to describe what God’s kingdom is like.

    The Parables of Jesus The Value of the Kingdom Matthew 13:44-46 June 7, 2009 Here in a brief three verses Jesus gives us two parables. Although they are not identical both teach us about God’s kingdom in similar fashion. They are intended to teach us the value of God’s kingdom. These parables ...read more

    The editor-in-chief of Bible Study magazine addresses the importance of a Christian’s continued growth in Christ and challenges listeners to embrace God’s plan for their lives and their communities.

    We have all at one point or another asked a simple question to ourselves, "Does my life have meaning?" In a mixed up, chaotic world, we wonder, what difference am I making? Am I part of the problem, or am I part of the solution? Is my life relevant? And when it really gets hard we ask the deepest ...read more

     | 3,759 views

    A short sermon looking at the point of parables to get people to think about the message of Jesus, and a call to us to be ’yeast’ in God’s hands.

    I was chatting to David Lowman – the Archdeacon of Southend – this week. We were talking about ‘preaching’ – for example length of sermon, quality of sermon, and the coherence of sermons. David said that sometimes he goes to a Church and preaches and people say, “Thank you. I could hear every word ...read more
