Good Wheat, Bad Wheat; Good Fish, Bad Fish - (Matthew 13:24-52) 3/16/25, Jerry Cisar

The King and His Kingdom, Part 9

What do a secret hiding place, a tiny mustard seed, and a hidden pearl of great price have in common? Each reveals a startling reality about God’s Kingdom.

We’ll look at Matthew 13:24–52 and the true story of Corrie ten Boom, a watchmaker who risked her own safety to hide others from Nazi persecution. Through it all, we’ll see that sometimes the most unassuming acts of faithfulness transform hearts and challenge oppressive powers. In these parables, Jesus teaches us three core lessons about God’s Kingdom: the ways of its faithful citizens, the worth of giving everything for it, and the waiting required as we trust God’s ultimate harvest.

Join us to see how small, hidden acts of love can bring hope, how prioritizing Kingdom values can transform our daily choices, and why patient endurance pays eternal dividends. Do you ever wonder whether your life, your kindness, or your faith really matter? Come discover how God’s kingdom grows in hidden and surprising ways through us.
