Matthew 13:27, 28a

The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’

After an awesome Youth Ignite Program, we are diving back into our new sermon series on the Great Controversy. We are exploring the grand narrative of God's story, in which we have a part to play, and I wanted to share with you the Bible texts we used as the starting point of our journey so you could study them for yourself.

Tares and the Wheat Parable (Matthew 13:27-30, 36-43)
Creation of the World (Genesis 1 and 2)
War in Heaven (Revelations 12:7-9)
Pride of Satan (Isaiah 14:12-15)
The Fall of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:1-7)
Declaration of Satans End (Revelation 12:10-12)

Some additional texts to consider:

Ezekiel 28:12-15
Romans 5:12-21
John 3:16, 17

We invite you to pray along and study along with us as we continue this journey with "The Great . . . Tribulation" this week.
