Date: January 6, 2019 Title: The Instruction of the Messiah (Pt 1b His Parables) Passage: Matthew 13:24-52 Speaker: Bob Corbin Sermon Note Sheet (PDF) Download Audio

* Focusing on the Messiah in the book of Matthew. Matthew was a Jewish man writing to a Jewish audience and giving testimony regarding the life and ministry of the Messiah who had been foretold by many of the Jewish prophets. * Last week we transitioned into the instructional phase of the life and ministry of the Messiah. Jesus began His instruction by sharing several parables regarding the Kingdom of Heaven. In that message, we considered the concept and purpose of parables and then the Parable of the Sower. * Today, the goal is to consider the rest of these parables: the Wheat and Tares, the Mustard Seed, the Leaven in the Dough, the Hidden Treasure, the Pearl of Great Price, and the Dragnet.
