Mysteries of the Kingdom: Bringing Out the Old and the New

Video Description:

In this powerful teaching on Matthew 13, we explore the profound mysteries of the Kingdom that Jesus revealed to His disciples—mysteries that change everything about how we understand our identity and mission as believers.

We begin by addressing a critical issue in the modern church: we've allowed the inmates to run the asylum. The Church has surrendered its authority, retreated from culture, and allowed those who reject God's truth to set the terms of engagement. But that's not the Kingdom way.

The core of this message centers on Matthew 13:52, where Jesus describes the scribe trained for the Kingdom as "a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old." This is the mark of true Kingdom disciples—those who understand both the foundation and the fulfillment, who can distinguish between what we carry forward from the Old Testament and what Christ has already accomplished.

In this teaching, you'll discover:

The Value of the Kingdom - Why the Kingdom is worth total reorientation of your life, not because you're earning your place, but because you've discovered what you already possess in Christ

The Nature of the Kingdom - How the Kingdom advances through proclamation in contested space, growing organically like seed and leaven, transforming from the inside out

The Advancement of the Kingdom - Your commission to bring the Gospel of the Kingdom throughout the world, operating from completed work and delegated authority

What Christ Fulfilled vs. What We Carry Forward:

We don't observe one Sabbath day—every day is Sabbath rest in Christ

We don't offer sacrifices—Christ is the final sacrifice

We don't go to a temple—you ARE the temple

We aren't under dietary laws—all foods are clean

We don't need physical circumcision—we have circumcision of the heart

The Mystery Revealed: Israel was called to be a great nation, a light in one land. But YOU have the Gospel, and YOU are commissioned to bring the Gospel of the Kingdom throughout the entire world. This is the mystery—what was shadowed in Israel is now reality in Christ and His global Church.

Key Identity Truths:

We were crucified with Christ (past tense, finished)

We are throne-sitters, not perpetual cross-bearers

Our old self died—we don't keep trying to kill what's already dead

We identify in Christ, not in ourselves

We live under the New Covenant, not Old Testament Law

We believe "it is finished," not "God is going to"

As He is, so are we in this world

This teaching equips you to be like the Kingdom scribe Jesus describes—someone who understands the treasure of God's eternal purposes (the old) and the treasure of Christ's accomplished work and the Spirit's indwelling power (the new). You'll learn to operate from completion, not striving; from authority, not begging; from victory, not defeat.

The bottom line: The Messiah came. The work is finished. The authority is delegated. The time is now.

Stop trying to become what you already are in Christ. Stop observing shadows when you possess the reality. Stop waiting for the Kingdom to come when you're commissioned to advance the Kingdom that IS.

Stand up. Step out. Speak now.
