The Opposition of the Kingdom
March 17, 2019 | Aaron Pendergrass
Passage: Matthew 13:53-14:12
In the last few weeks, we’ve been exploring what the sayings of Jesus mean. This week we’ll see the Parable of the Sower in action. Jesus returns to his hometown of Nazareth, and he doesn’t receive the warm welcome we would expect a famous person to get at their homecoming, followed by a royal soap-opera and a birthday party gone wrong! Join us this Sunday as we learn a tale of two kingdoms, and how to be the model family of God that copes with rejection and endures in suffering.
Series Information
Matthew 12:22 - 20
In the next installment in our Matthew series as we see conflict heating up around Jesus. As his ministry continues, it becomes clear that the values of the Kingdom clash with the arrogance, pride, and apathy of his day, and people start to polarize around him. I'm sure the same will be true of us. At every step we'll find that Jesus' grace is sufficient for the journey, as we learn the way of the Upside-Down Kingdom.
