Read the text – Matthew 13:24-58
The Kingdom of Heaven may seem inconsequential now, but not always. Whoever has ears, hear. Do you?
In this Bible talk, Archie Poulos helps the listener to take Jesus seriously and to take note of his warning about the coming kingdom of heaven. For today, we are at war, and yet may not even realize it! He says: be amazed, not offended. And he says: Take note, don’t be distracted.
What does it mean to live a gospel life? The Apostle Paul encourages his younger disciple Timothy to stand firm in the truth of the gospel knowing that suffering will come. Timothy is reminded not to be distracted because the reward of life in Christ is worth persevering for today. Erin Lidgerwood, Sarah McConville, Dani Holmes and Tamara Lindeback, teaching from the letter of 2 Timothy, help us to consider what this gospel life might look like for women at each stage of life.

In this Bible talk, Gary Haddon observes that how we listen and respond to the Gospels will reflect our understanding of the Lord Jesus. The Christian person should be eager to deepen their understanding and focus on God, and resist the distractions that can easily take them away. And in growing in faith, it is right to expect God to do his work in the person.
