Matthew 13 - Parables of the Kingdom of Heaven Series

As an introduction to the parable of the kingdom of heaven series, we can establish from the scriptures that the kingdom of heaven is one and the same as the kingdom of God (Refs. - Mathew 4:17, Mark 1:15, Mathew 5:3,10; Luke 6:20, 22). The phrase 'kingdom of heaven' appears 33 times in the new testament and every single occurrence is in the gospel of St Mathew. Kingdom of God appears 5 time. Matthew 1-12 gives a panoramic view of the life Jesus - Jesus is not just a prophet, a good teacher that lived once upon a time, but that Jesus is the Messiah, our soon coming King.
