Matthew 13 is a pivotal Chapter in the New Testament and change in Jesus' ministry methodology. Moving from clear teachings and miracles, Jesus moves to parables. In parables, those individuals who seek to understand will receive understanding. Also, those individuals that reject Jesus and do not seek understanding will not receive. In this passage we learn what we can expect in the days ahead regarding the Kingdom of Heaven.

We tend to rank sins from "worst" to "not so bad." Jesus delivers a sermon to the people surrounding Him that describes the "worst" sin ranked by Jesus and its unescapable eternal punishment. In His sermon, Jesus pleads with those who are in the midst of this sin to "Come to Him." Escape the fiery judgment and believe in Him.

There are all kinds of "silent killers" with which we must contend with in our lives. Left unnoticed or untreated, these "silent killers" can lead to disastrous consequences and even tragic ends to our lives. In this sermon you will discover a "Silent Killer" of our faith life. We all have or will fall prey to it at some time. Left untreated, our faith can be damaged. However, identified and treated it can also strengthen our faith.

Jesus calls His disciples to a life of preaching, teaching and ministering in the place where God has placed them.
