When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it (Matt. 13:46).

Jesus used the parable to illustrate how the beginning of the gospel is small and slow, but give it time and it will increase greatly!

Jesus’ parables communicate truth in much the same way. The key to understanding the deeper truths of the parables is to be in relationship with the Author.

We seek the heart of God relationally, desiring to know Him as our personal Savior, the truth of His teaching comes to life.

Are you open to being filled with the Holy Spirit?

Are you trapped in self-sufficiency? Are you convinced your efforts are what make good fruit? Or are you bold enough to be absolutely needy for God?

Where are you focused? Yourself? Your family? The past? Your work? Jesus is looking to you with open arms and welcoming you into a life of radical obedience.
