Jesus used parables to communicate the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, which gave his listeners the opportunity to choose whether to draw nearer to him or withdraw further from him. The question is not whether truth is being revealed, but whether hearts are open to receiving it. Jesus didn’t come to offer a religious manual, but a reconciled relationship to God.
Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Roots Scripture: Matthew 13:1-23
While the will of God before all else is for us to receive the fullness of Christ through repentance and faith, God’s interest and purpose for our lives does not stop there. The Scriptures affirm that he has plans for us and promises to guide us in the paths we are supposed to take. Ours is not to exhaustively know his mind in all things, but to be ready and willing to trust and obey.
Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: God’s Will Scripture: Acts 16:6-10
Jesus taught that the difference between who will enter the Kingdom of Heaven and who will not boils down to who does his Father’s will. At the center of the Father’s will is to rightly acknowledge and honor Christ as Lord, but it has to be more than mere lip service. It must be backed up with the concrete actions of repentance and faith.
