Part 3 of our study in Matt chapter 13.
A good question to ask is, "Will the angels be able to tell that you are wheat, and not a tare, from looking at you?"
Jesus says, "By their fruit you will know them."

Today we start a short study on Matt 13, the the Lord's parable of the Wheat and the Tares.

(24) Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;
(25) "but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.

The Parable of the Soils Part 1

Download this episode (14 min)
A Study in Matthew chapter 13, and a fresh new look at the 4 soils.
Matthew 13:1-9
(1) The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
(2) And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
(3) And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
(4) And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
(5) Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
(6) And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
(7) And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
(8) But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
(9) Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Part 2 of our study of 2 Thess 2.
The Day of Christ will not come until:
1. The falling away comes first.
2. The man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition.
The question is, has this already happened, and the Church of Christ was asleep?
