    God's Hidden Kingdom

     | 9,547 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

    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Jul 28, 2011
    based on 409 ratings
     | 82,036 views

    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

    Based on the Parable of the Weeds, this sermon examines how Satan works within the church and how the church overcomes.

    Resident Evil Matthew 13.24-43 Introduction Jesus prepares the disciples and the church for troubles that lie ahead. The Bible tells us that Satan attacks the church constantly. We usually think of those attacks coming from the outside as Peter said, “The devil prowls about like a ...read more

    This is week 3 of our series on the Kingdom of Heaven is like. . . This week it is like a man hunting for the perfect pearl and what he was like

    He had it all, at least on the surface. A good business, a fine family, status in the community. He had everything it would appear, but not quite enough. Some men craved after gold or silver or jewels not this man. Those things were all so cold and inanimate, forged and moulded deep inside an ...read more

    This is my fourth sermon in the series and looks at how we are to be productive as we act as God's kingdom here.

    It seems strange to mix the sacred with the everyday, to describe the eternal with the ordinary, the infinite with the finite. And yet that is exactly what Jesus did when looking for a way to illustrate the Kingdom of Heaven, a treasure in a field, a merchant looking for a pearl the tiniest of ...read more

    The Great Pearl

    Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Oct 7, 2011
     | 5,469 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

     | 2,983 views

    What about all those whose crimes were never discovered and never received the punishment due them? There is a day of judgment coming. No one is going to get by with anything.

    The first is this: Free will makes hell necessary. Hell is God’s great compliment to the human race — by it he is saying, “If you do not wish to live with me, you don’t have to ” And if people do not wish to live with God, there must be a place where they can be ...read more
