The Case Of The Counterfeit Christian
Adrian Rogers
Matt 13:24-30, 37-42
Now, take your bibles please and turn to Matthew chapter fourteen. The second in a series of messages on the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. Jesus gave seven parables and these are things, mysteries that we need to understand. A mystery in the bible is a truth that you cannot know apart from divine revelation.
