We turn to Matthew 13 and the mystery of the
Kingdom. Why does Jesus suddenly start teaching in parables? Why do some
people hear Him and lean in, while others hear the same words and walk away
unbothered? We'll work through the Parable of the Sower, the parable that
unlocks all the others, and finish with the treasure hidden in a field and the
pearl of great price. The question underneath all of it: the Kingdom is here,
but do we recognize what we're looking at?

Matthew: Reactions to the King (Chris)
In this lesson, we will study “Reactions to the King” from
Matthew 11–12. In these two chapters, the evidence for Jesus as the Messiah is
clear, yet the responses are strikingly different. From John the Baptist’s
honest doubt, to the crowds’ indifference, to the growing opposition of the
religious leaders, these chapters show that the key issue of faith is not the
lack of evidence, but the condition of the human heart. We will also see
Christ’s gracious invitation to come to Him and what it means to live as
citizens of His kingdom. Join us as we consider how we are responding to the
King.
