Unpacking the Kingdom of Heaven: Cycle A Sermons Based on the Gospel Texts for Proper 17 through Thanksgiving

The Kingdom of Heaven is not something that can be easily understood by human minds, so Jesus spent much of his ministry on Earth telling parables which indirectly communicated God's unconditional love for his children and how God invites us to a new life through Jesus Christ. God invites all of us to be saved, to be loved, to know peace, mercy, and grace in our lives. To answer this invitation, we simply must open our hearts and accept these gifts of God. Peter Smith uses Unpacking the Kingdom of Heaven to dive into these various parables and break down exactly how God wants us to act towards others, how we should love our neighbors as ourselves and be willing to forgive others as we have been forgiven by our Father in Heaven. Unpacking the Kingdom of Heaven will help the preacher bring more insight into the Parables of Jesus for the listeners in the pews. Give your congregation a greater sense of God's love, mercy, grace, and peace. Sermon Titles Include: Why Believe in Jesus? The Heart of Faith Leading as Servants More Than Thankful--
