Sermon Notes from Sunday 6.20.10

Here are the sermon notes from Sunday.  I forgot to post them earlier in the week.  The audio for the sermon is not up yet, but will be early next week (week of 6.27).  You can find it at sermons.heritagepark.org.

Secrets of the Kingdom

Mark 4.21-34

Internal Kingdom

• It is hidden and secret because it works within.
• It works within but always becomes visible in lives.
• It doesn’t come in force, popularity, or tradition.

Kingdom Process

• It’s often hidden from sight but still very real.
• It’s both unexplainable and unearned, but still natural.
• The harvest happens when it is ready.

Incredible Kingdom

• Its promise is stunning – the rich get richer.
• Hearing and obeying is the path to greater revelation. (John 14.21)
• Some deny obedience – not taking the step they know they should.
• Some delay obedience – not responding when called.
• Some obey and grow into people who bless others.
