Matthew 13

Explain each type of person represented by the seed: The seed by the wayside. The seed in stony places. The seed among thorns. The seed on good ground.
Wayside: Word is heard but quickly taken away by Satan. Stony places: Received with joy but abandoned during trials. Thorns: Choked by worries, riches, and distractions. Good ground: Received, understood, and produces spiritual fruit.

The Kingdom of Heaven grows into something large from very small beginnings
How is the Kingdom of Heaven like leaven (yeast)?

The Kingdom is of immeasurable value, worth joyfully giving up everything else to obtain it.
