Join Verse by Verse Ministry International for this insightful webinar series on the parables found in Matthew 13. As Jesus teaches these stories, He reveals the spiritual realities of the Church Age, a hidden period between His first and second comings. Pastor Wesley Livingston walks through each parable in order to explain God's mystery plan for the Kingdom and the Church.
Join us on May 27th at 7PM CST, as Dr. Lance Hartsfield continues through the parables of Matthew, starting with the Dragnet in Matthew 13:47-50. Each session includes a webinar teaching followed by a live Q&A.
Part 1: The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
This teaching reveals God's patience and long-term plan for judgment, as He allows both true believers and false ones to exist side by side until the harvest.
Part 2: Parable of the Mustard Seed
Pastor Wesley highlights that the Church, though it began small, has grown significantly. However, this growth sometimes allows for unwanted influences, symbolized by the birds under the mustard tree.
Part 3 - Parable of the Leaven
Leaven represents how false teachings subtly spread within the Church. Pastor Wesley reminds believers to stay vigilant and grounded in the truth of Scripture.
Part 4 - Parables of the Hidden Treasure and Costly Pearl
These twin parables reveal God's distinct plans for Israel and the Church.
Part 5 - Parable of the Dragnet
