How to Receive The Kingdom – The Pharisee & The Tax Collector

July 20, 2025 | Part 6

In this message, we learn to receive the kingdom by letting go of pride, humbling ourselves, and coming to him like a child.

“All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable. This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: ‘I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.'”

Matthew 13:34-35 (ESV)
