Wisdom consistently cries out in every area of our lives, and we must make a choice to receive it and walk in it. The wisdom of God gives us practical skills associated with understanding and living a successful life. It gives the ability to discern what is true, ethically right, and provides the ability to us knowledge in different situations.

Wisdom is more than an idea or a knowledge base. He's a person! Let's dive into the blueprint of God's design and desire.

What voice are we listening to? The bible tells us "wisdom cries out." Can we hear his voice loud enough to not be moved by the worlds destruction?

Proverbs clearly lays out from the beginning what it takes to step into fool-proof living. Hear a practical systematic approach to growing in the Fear of the Lord.

The foundational issue of darkness is the rejection of truth. When people profess to be wise apart from the knowledge of God, they become fools. As we recognize the signs of his coming, we know that these things will take place in increasingly greater ways. Many will turn away from the truth. What are we to do?? Arise and Shine!

What David rejected, others had accepted. Others were buying into the lies spewed from Goliath's mouth, but David had a revelation of who God was. What if Goliath was simply put in David's path to reveal who David was? What has God put in your path to reveal who you are in Him?

Jesus' disciples asked a pointed question. What will the signs be of your coming? Jesus gave a straight forward answer that is the foundation of this week's message.

There have always been spiritual battles in society, but they are rapidly intensifying. What once lurked in the shadows is being paraded openly and publicly. What once was on the fringe is now widely embraced. What is our response to this brazen move in the spiritual realm?

Becoming rooted and grounded in the love of God brings the fullness of the presence and power of God. All things work by love. Faith, the gifts of the Spirit, and even salvation were the result of love.

Through all of the parables, Jesus is challenging us to live a vertical lifestyle and live that lifestyle out! Join in for the conclusion of The Kingdom Parables.

We know God by knowing His ways. The ways of God reveal the nature of God and His Kingdom.

Jesus constantly challenged his followers and their current understandings. What he spoke 2000 years ago still challenges us today. Be persistent, stay humble, be obedient.

Stewardship... a term used many times about how to handle your finances. But, it's more than that. Jesus' has some thoughts on the matter as we dive into this weeks message.

This is a historic and prophetic parable. It speaks not only historically about God's interaction with His people, but also of future events when Jesus comes back.

Both of these parables reference someone who is in charge (the master) giving something of worth to servants. The charge to these servants was to keep and do business with these valuables until the master returned. What does that mean for us today?

Over the past few weeks, we have seen how Jesus has focused on the believers in response to each other through forgiveness and showing mercy and compassion to our neighbor. This week’s parable deals with the context of our relationship to God and to others.

How do we respond when we are confronted with the realities of a fallen world? Do we turn a blind eye? Maybe we look from a distance? Or do we engage? In this message Jesus defines the role of the believer in relation to the world around them.

Until now the focus of the parables have been God towards us and our response to Him. This parable takes a turn and shifts the focus to an interpersonal paradigm. The principles of the Kingdom not only affect the dynaic of how we live twrards God, but also how we live in relation to one another.

Jesus was intentional with His words. What was lost was found intentionally. What do we do with His model of intentionallity?

It's not about what we have accomplished, but rather what He has accomplished.

Using the natural process of yeast causing dough to rise, Jesus illustrates the effect of what a little can do in the Kingdom of God.

We understand that seed has divine power and good soil can produce a great harvest, but how does seed grow?

People can help you, but only Jesus can heal you.

The battles between God and Satan are evident. There is a season where followers of both sides of that aisle are at work in this world, and in today's episode we will see the outcome of both.

This parable is the foundation for understanding all other parables. Our prayer today is that you would have ears to hear and hearts ready to receive.
