Glen Allen Church of Christ Sermons

Matthew 13:31-33 To an outside observer, the beginning of the Kingdom of God being brought

about by Jesus probably looked pretty unimpressive.

The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Leaven address this question: "How could something that seems so unimpressive be God's kingdom on earth?"

Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 If the Parable of the Sower prepares us to hear what follows it, then we need to pay attention to the other parables in Matthew 13. The next one is the Parable of the Weeds.

Matthew 13:1-23 Jesus' Parable of the Sower is all about hearing.

Acts 17:22-34 The most important thing to know about time is that God is the Lord of it.

Luke 1:26-38 Gabriel's announcement to Mary contained references to God's promises to Israel. Especially important was the statement that her Son's kingdom would have "no end."

Matthew 1:18-25 One part of the story of Jesus' birth that many people don't love is the part

about the Virgin Birth. Even many who regard themselves as believers think it is something we could do without.

Matthew 19:16-30: The story of the "Rich Young Ruler" isn't just about him; it's also about the poor disciples of Jesus. Peter said, "We have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?"

John W. Smith, from Searcy Arkansas, writes this profound message on the message of the cross.

One thing all of Jesus' apostles had in common was that they all experienced failure. There was not a perfect/ideal disciple among them.

Mark 6:30-44 - When the crowds were large and it started getting late, the disciple's of Jesus had a solution: "Send them away.”
