This sermon continues a series of sermons on Jesus’ parables in Matthew 13. We begin with the parable about a man who finds treasure hidden in the field and the one about the pearl merchant. In both parables we focus on Jesus and the kingdom of heaven. Then the parable of the net funds its meaning, and the treasure of God’s people becomes clear. This sermon was recorded during an outdoor worship service, and there were some technical difficulties that required switching microphones early in the message. You can hear where the switch happens, but it does not affect this recording.
