Seek First the Kingdom

Ep. 1 – The Kingdom of Heaven—that’s what Jesus came preaching, according to Matthew’s Gospel. It’s a topic so big that everything Jesus taught fits under that header. So, what is the Kingdom of Heaven? Listen and learn more.

Ep. 2 – Why does the same Gospel message penetrate the heart of one person but not another? And for the Christian, why is spiritual growth such an uphill battle? We don’t have to wonder—Jesus gave the answer in a parable found in Matthew 13.

Ep. 3 – The Gospel means, literally, good news. And Jesus preached the good news that the Kingdom of Heaven had now come in Him. Yet his message didn’t sound like good news to many who heard it. Why is that? Tune in to find out.

Ep. 4 – What’s the most valuable thing you possess? That depends on what you value most, but is it all relative? Jesus says no; there is, in fact, something more valuable than anything else. It’s found in two side-by-side parables in Matthew 13.

Ep. 5 – A tree and a kingdom—these themes intertwine throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. In Matthew’s Gospel, a “kingdom tree” stands at the heart of Jesus’ parables, its mysterious message pointing to a larger story.

Ep. 6 – Lilias Trotter could have been the greatest living artist in England, achieving recognition and success in the eyes of the world. Yet, she gave it all up to take another path—the narrow road with Christ—pursuing His calling on her life. Special guest Miriam Rockness shares about Lilias’ inspiring journey.
