The mark of a good teacher is the ability to help others understand. Listen to Adrian

Rogers. Now, Jesus was the master teacher. Nobody ever taught like the Lord Jesus Christ.

As a matter of fact, even his enemies had to say,

no man ever spake like this man.

Who could withstand the teaching of Jesus?

Who could controvert him?

Who could argue with him who could argue with him who could confuse him and yet the Lord Jesus taught in such a way that little children could understand him who had open and ready hearts and so I hope you'll have a child-like heart as we begin

this sevenfold series on the strange mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.

Welcome to Love Worth Finding, featuring clear biblical teaching from pastor and author Adrian Rogers.

We're beginning a series today on the insightful parables of Jesus called Understanding the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.

There are so many treasures to uncover in these simple stories Jesus told.

And today we start with the parable of the sower.

There are three basic components of this story, the seed, the sower, and the soil.

As we look closer, we're going to find that each of these components

reveals something about the kingdom of God.

If you have your Bible turn now to Matthew chapter 13

as Adrian Rogers reveals the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.

Now in many ways the Bible is a love story but it's also a mystery story and there are mysteries that need to be discovered and unlocked.

The Bible is not an open book to those who are the enemies of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

But it is plain and sweet to those who have certain mysterious truths revealed to them.

And as we've said many times, the Bible is God's love letter to his children.

If you read it and don't understand it, it's because you've been reading somebody else's mail.
