    We enter the Kingdom through trials. This is pictured in the Gates of Pearl of New Jerusalem. Pearls are the result of irritation and the secreting of a grace-like substance that transforms the irritation into a pearl. Paradise is entered by trials!

    We’re going to look at what Jesus meant by this phrase, how it was carried out in the New Testament, what are some examples of “swine” in the Bible, and how we should apply this teaching to our lives.

    Dogs and hogs. Is Jesus showing some signs of ADHD? A difficult passage like this needs the context to help us understand it.

    Our passage today is a tough one. Probably one of the toughest ones in the Sermon. Jesus has just finished a little ditty about not judging people especially judging them religiously that includes are rather harsh judgment about hypocrites. Then he starts spouting off about hogs and dogs. What does ...read more

    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

    How do you view situations, and misgivings & how do you view salvation? This message prompts us to look beyond the dullness that others see as junk which could become someone else's treasure. May we realize that hidden treasure must be sought after to discover its wealth and potential.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Matthew 13:44) (44) "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth ...read more

    Have we counted the cost of servanthood? What are we willing to give for the fortune that God has provided for us?

    Jesus oftentimes instructed by using parables or illustrations. Stories, even short ones like these, are a strong method for conveying a major thought or to answer an unavoidable issue. Language or specialized terms probably will not let a thought hit home for a great many people. Associating the ...read more
