About this listen
The Mystery of the Kingdom is a verse-by-verse exposition of what Jesus Himself identified as "The Paramount Parable" — The Parable of the Sower.
Unpacked as it is by the author, this book is a virtual "Christianity 101," in that it puts the entire "big picture" of the Christian experience and life into proper perspective, unveils many insights into the how the Kingdom of God operates on Earth, and answers many common questions regarding God and the Kingdom of God. Its subtitle, Bearing Kingdom Fruit, reflects the book’s and the Parable's ultimate message. The medium through which that message is conveyed — The Parable of the Sower — is what Jesus himself indicated is the most important of all his Parables. In it, he delineates the four categories of hearers of the Word of God.
According to the Parable, everyone who has ever heard the Word of God falls into one of these four categories, and thereby chooses their own future and eternal destiny. Dr. Lambert unveils in the volume the four-step path of progressive spiritual growth revealed in this "dark saying" (parable) of the Master. The most profound and intriguing "hidden pearl" inherent in the rich and ingenious Parable, however, is the spiritually appraised "secret" of how the entire Kingdom of God operates and how every believer can bear Kingdom fruit in his/her own life.
And, indeed, as of scripture is that bearing Kingdom fruit is by no means optional, but rather absolutely imperative.
Why do bad things happen to "good" people?
"If there is a God who loves us so much, why does He allow such evil and adverse things to happen and continue to exist in the world?"
- Who is the true author of evil and adversity in the world?
- Why is there so much suffering in the world and even for Christians?
- When Christians experience adversity does it mean they are doing something wrong or that it is happening because they are sinners?
- Is adversity a sign of sin and judgment from God?
- Is there really a real, live devil?
- If Satan exists, should Christians just ignore him and act as if he doesn't exist?
- Didn't Jesus "defeat" the devil? If so, why is "spiritual warfare" really necessary?
- Is a Christian's salvation "eternally secure", or can he/she fall away and lose his/her salvation?
- What is Kingdom fruit and how does one produce it in their own life?
- How important is it to bear Kingdom fruit?
- What is the consequence if we don't?
These are all questions commonly asked by believers and unbelievers alike. The Mystery of the Kingdom offers definitive and straightforward answers to all these age-old questions, right out of the Word of God. By demystifying many of the conundrums of life, The Mystery of the Kingdom, will bring you new inward peace, rest, and faith, and in the process quench the psychological and emotional "fiery darts" with which the evil one assails all believers. It will also arm you with added "ammunition" for quelling the sometimes hostile questionings and criticisms of the unbelieving.
Regardless of how long you've been a believer, you are guaranteed to gain new insights from this book that will have a powerful and enduring impact upon your life! Those who have known the Lord for a while will also be reminded of many vital concepts and precepts concerning the Kingdom of God and our heavenly father's gracious and exceeding love for us.
The inspiring and empowering message unfurled upon The Mystery of the Kingdom is a tremendous evangelizing source. Once you've listened and experienced it for yourself, you will then be impelled or even compelled to sow it into the lives of loved ones and those you are praying for will receive the Lord Jesus Christ into their hearts and lives.
I really hope you'll listen to this book, and recommend it to everyone you know. Afterall, at bottom, it's message is all about every person's eternal destiny and destination! What could be more vital than that?

One of the greatest crimes of this generation of Christians is its neglect of the Gospel, and it is from this neglect that all our other maladies spring forth. Absent from too many pulpits are the essential themes that make up the very core of the Gospel: the justice of God, the radical depravity of man, the blood atonement. In The Gospel's Power and Message, Paul Washer addresses these essential elements of Christ's good news and provides a guide to help us rediscover the Gospel in all its beauty, scandal, and saving power.

Story
The modern church suffers from a serious identity crisis. Many Christians don't know who they really are in Christ. Churches languish in the land of lack, listless, powerless, and with little influence in the world. This is about to change! God is birthing a new thing in the church. He is calling all believers to embrace the anointing of the holy spirit and walk in his divine power to change the world. The harvest is plentiful and the coming end-time revival needs a vibrant, anointed church that is ready to receive that harvest.

Nothing captures the imagination like a story. Jesus's stories were so enthralling that even his enemies forgot about time and circumstance. In the mainly post-agrarian society of today, Ellen White's work rekindles in the modern listener the same all-absorbing quality of Jesus' stories.

Wisdom, encouragement, and exhortation is contained here. Not because of the author's brilliance, but because of the words of truth contained in the gospel of John. And just as the Apostle John didn't draw any attention to himself, so also J. C. Ryle clearly and wonderfully directs his words and our thoughts toward the inspired words of scripture. If we truly love God, we will love his word; and the more we study his word, the more we will love God.

Story
The original three volume set of The Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee serves as a guide, not as a manual, to walk in spiritual life as well as to fight the spiritual warfare. It was written under tremendous spiritual conflict. Only through the grace of God and the victory of Christ was Watchman Nee able to finish the writing. Now having become a Christian classic, it may be considered as Watchman Nee's legacy to the church. Condensed in this new volume, there are 42 lessons to be learned in journeying towards the spiritual.

From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is “God’s purposeful sovereignty”. Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world.
