Like David, we will often face stress and danger when we wake up in the morning. Satan, like Shimei, will try to capitalize on those moments by telling us that GOD has abandoned us.

This week we wrap up our study of Matthew 13 by discussing what to do with the insights we have gotten from Jesus's parables of the Kingdom.

About Music Track: Track: Inspirational Flight Artist: AShamaluevMusic Owner: Aleksandr Shamaluev

The inevitability of God's judgment makes it all the more important that we take the message of the Kingdom seriously. We must listen to Jesus's words.

What hope do sinners like you and me have when we stand before the royal judgment of GOD!? Each of us, like Benjamin, are caught dead to rights and facing a death sentence.
