Birds (2)

177: Those Ominous Birds (Walking with Jesus Series, #039: Matt. 13:31-35)

Jesus shares the parables of the mustard seed and the leavened bread to describe how the kingdom inheritance offer will fare throughout the Church Age. Pastor Hollandsworth clarifies that these parables are not about the spread of the gospel of grace or the progress of the Church, but the corrupting work of Satan to destroy the word of the kingdom, as represented by the birds and the leaven.

175: Christ’s Closest Kinfolk (Walking with Jesus Series, #037: Matt. 12:46-13:23)

Jesus announces that his “brethren” are those who do His will and thus, going forward, He will speak to them in parables in order to conceal truth from those who are hard-hearted while revealing it to the open-hearted. Pastor Hollandsworth explains the parable of the four soils, which represent varying responses to the kingdom inheritance message.
