Sermon Notes

Date of Sermon: March 24, 2019

Summary: We should understand present and future of the kingdom

Key Verse:  “"Have you understood all these things?'  They said to him, 'yes'”  - Matthew 13:51

Bible Reading:  47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. 48 When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.  51 “Have you understood all these things?” They said to him, “Yes.” 52 And he said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.”  - Matthew 13:47-52
