Welcome to Wellspring Church!
Why did Jesus speak in parables? In this message, Bishop Thad Barnum launches our new teaching series by diving deep into that question, guiding us through Matthew 13 and Isaiah 6 to reveal the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus draws a dividing line—not between good and bad people, but between those who hear and those who cannot. Through stories, He reveals the heart of the Father and the invitation to a kingdom that is not of this world, calling us to repentance, faith, and a whole new way of seeing.
📖 Key Themes in This Message:
🔹 Why parables both reveal and conceal the truth of the kingdom
🔹 How spiritual blindness keeps us from hearing the gospel
🔹 The parable of the lost sheep and Bishop Thad’s personal testimony
🔹 The invitation to be reconciled with God through the cross of Jesus
The gospel opens our eyes, unstops our ears, and softens our hearts—but only if we come hungry. Jesus uses the natural to reveal the spiritual: bread, wine, seeds, and stories. And in that mystery is the call to come home to the Father.
