Hey there! Welcome to Found the Book. Let’s be real: most Christians don’t have time to read all the history books, biographies, and deep theological works—but that doesn’t mean we have to miss out on the incredible stories of faith that shaped our world. This channel is all about rediscovering biblical truth through the lens of Christian history. In 2 Kings 22, King Josiah found the book of the law—something God’s people had forgotten. When he read it, everything changed. That’s what happens in history too—forgotten truths get uncovered, and revival follows. But here’s the thing: not ever

    What is the Eternal Gospel? The Parables of the Net Cast into the Sea and the Sheep and Goats

    Could an oyster point us to Jesus Christ? What does the seventh parable in Matthew 13 reveal about the kingdom of the heavens, and what will happen when the Lord returns?In this episode of Found the Book, we continue through Matthew 13 by examining the pearl of great price (Matthew 13:45–46) and the seventh parable, the parable of the net cast into the sea (Matthew 13:47–50). Using the Recovery Version, its study notes, and cross-references throughout the Bible, we consider how the pearl illustrates Christ’s work of making something precious out of those who once wounded Him, and how believers are transformed through His life.We also compare the parable of the net with Matthew 25:31–46, examining the separation of the nations when the Lord returns and how their treatment of Christ’s people relates to His judgment. Finally, we take a bird’s-eye view of all seven parables to see what they reveal about the history of the kingdom of the heavens, the church, and God’s eternal purpose.What do these parables reveal about Christ, the church, and the consummation of the age? Join us as we compare Scripture with Scripture and discover the riches hidden in God’s Word.📖 Bible passages discussed:Matthew 13:45–50 — The pearl of great price and the parable of the net1 Corinthians 1:30 — Christ as our wisdom and our righteousness, sanctification, and redemptionIsaiah 57:20 — The wicked compared to the tossing seaMatthew 25:31–46 — The judgment of the nationsActs 9:4–5 — Christ identifying Himself with those who are persecutedRevelation 12–13 — The persecution of God’s peopleEphesians 5:25–27 — Christ’s love for the church#FoundTheBook #BibleStudy #Matthew13 #KingdomOfTheHeavens #JesusChrist #Church #RecoveryVersion #GodsWord #BibleTeaching #ChristianFaith

    The Pearl of Great Price | Its Meaning and Relation to Life and Building

    What is the meaning of the pearl of great price in Matthew 13? What does the parable of the treasure hidden in the field mean, and what is the sixth parable in Matthew 13 teaching us about the kingdom of the heavens?In this episode of Found the Book, we explore the fifth and sixth parables in Matthew 13: the parable of the treasure hidden in the field (Matthew 13:44) and the parable of the pearl of great price (Matthew 13:45–46). Using the Recovery Version, its study notes, and cross-references throughout the Bible, we examine what these parables reveal about Christ, the church, and God’s eternal purpose.We also consider A. W. Pink’s interpretation of the pearl of great price and the possibility that the pearl represents the church, whom Christ loved and gave Himself for (Ephesians 5:25–27). By comparing these parables with other passages in Scripture, we explore the biblical connection between life and building and how believers grow in God’s life to become precious materials for His spiritual building.What do the hidden treasure and the pearl reveal about the kingdom of the heavens? Join us as we compare Scripture with Scripture and discover the riches hidden in God’s Word.📖 Bible passages discussed:Matthew 13:44–46 — The hidden treasure and the pearl of great priceGenesis 2:9–12 — The tree of life and precious materials1 Corinthians 3:6–12 — Growing in God’s life and building with precious materials1 Peter 2:2–5 — Growing unto salvation and being built up as a spiritual houseEphesians 5:25–27 — Christ’s love for the churchRomans 8:29 — Being conformed to the image of God’s SonRevelation 21:18–21 — The precious materials of the New Jerusalem#FoundTheBook #Matthew13 #PearlOfGreatPrice #HiddenTreasure #ParablesOfJesus #BibleStudy #KingdomOfTheHeavens #BibleExplained #RecoveryVersion #AWPink

    The Parable of the Leaven | The Importance of Using all Scripture to Interpret Scripture

    What does leaven represent in Matthew 13:33? Many Bible commentators interpret the Parable of the Leaven as a positive picture of the gospel spreading throughout the world. But when we compare this passage with the rest of Scripture, a different picture begins to emerge.In this episode of Found the Book, we take a closer look at Matthew 13:33 and the meaning of leaven in the Bible. By examining how leaven is used throughout Scripture, Jesus’ interpretation of the Parable of the Tares, and the connection between Matthew 13 and Revelation 2, we explore the possibility that this parable speaks of corruption and mixture entering into the outward appearance of the kingdom of the heavens.We also look at the Catholic Church, church history, pagan practices, false doctrine, and the mixture of the world with Christianity, as well as what these passages reveal about the Lord’s warning to His people.Scripture interprets Scripture. What happens when we allow the whole Bible to shed light on Matthew 13?📖 Matthew 13:24–43📖 Matthew 13:33📖 1 Corinthians 5:6–8📖 Galatians 5:9📖 Revelation 2:18–29📖 2 Timothy 2:15#BibleStudy #Matthew13 #LeavenInTheBible #RecoveryVersion #BibleExplained #ChurchHistory #KingdomOfTheHeavens #ScriptureInterpretsScripture #WordOfGod #Christianity #NewTestament #FoundTheBook

    The Parable of the Mustard Seed | The Nature of the Church According to Matthew 13

    We often read the Parable of the Mustard Seed as a story of great growth, but have you ever considered whether the mustard seed becoming a massive tree is actually a warning rather than a blessing?In Matthew 13:31–32, Jesus speaks of a small seed that grows into a tree where birds come to roost. As highlighted in the New Testament Recovery Version footnotes and supported by Bible teacher A.W. Pink, the mustard plant is meant to be a humble herb—not a great tree. The small mustard seed growing into something unnaturally large signifies the outward appearance of Christendom mixing with the world, while the "birds" in the branches represent the evil one lodging within it.May we be like the true mustard herb, sojourning on the earth, deeply rooted in Christ rather than putting down roots in the things of this world.Key takeaways in this episode:• A.W. Pink’s perspective on how Matthew 13 parables have been turned upside down• The Recovery Version explanation of the shift from an annual herb to a perennial tree• How Constantine and the church in Pergamos (Revelation 2) represent Christianity joining the world• The biblical context of birds as symbols of the evil one from Genesis to Revelation• Why true believers are called to have deep roots in Christ, not in the worldVerses Covered:Matthew 13:31-32 | Genesis 1:11-12 | Genesis 15:11 | Mark 4:30-32 | Revelation 2:12-13 | Revelation 18:2#Matthew13 #MustardSeedParable #RecoveryVersion #AWPink #BibleStudy #ChurchHistory #ScriptureExposition #ChristianPodcast

    Scripture Interprets Scripture: Unlocking the Parable of the Wheat and Tares

    The Scripture passages we may find to be locked to us are meant to be opened by the key of Scripture itself. The notes in the New Testament Recovery Version can help us to take a look at the Parable of the Tares in Matthew 13 and see how Jesus reveals the true nature of the kingdom of the heavens and the mixture that entered in. Scripture is its own interpreter. The Son of Man sowed good seed (the true believers), but the enemy sowed tares (false believers) right alongside them. Looking at both Jesus' own interpretation and insights from church history, we explore why the Lord cautions against prematurely plucking up the tares and what this means for Christians today as we wait for the harvest. 📖 Matthew 13:24–30, 36–43📖 John 12:24📖 Recovery Version Study Bible Notes #BibleStudy #Matthew13 #RecoveryVersion #NewTestament #ParableOfTheTares #ScriptureInterpretsScripture #WordOfGod #ChurchHistory #Christianity #BibleExplained #SpiritualGrowth #ChurchLife #Gospel

    When God’s Word Becomes Hammer & Fire | Dealing with the Rocks & Thorns in Our Heart

    Has the Word of God ever hit you like a hammer?The Word of God sown into our hearts encounters obstacles: hardness, hidden sins, anxieties, and desires for other things. But God's Word is not only the seed—it is also the solution to the very barriers that prevent it from growing.In this video, we explore how to deal with the rocks and thorns in our heart so God's speaking can grow and bear fruit. When we come to the Lord with a pure and simple heart, His Word transforms.The rocks which hinder growth, the thorns of anxiety that choke it, and the compacted soil of daily traffic are all dealt with by the Word itself. Through the notes in the Recovery Version study Bible, we connect the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13 with the revelation in Jeremiah 23:29: "Is not my word thus like fire? ... and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?"The Word is a seed to nourish us, a hammer to break inner obstacles, and a fire to consume daily anxieties.📖 Matthew 13📖 Jeremiah 23:28–29📖 Parable of the Sower📖 Word as Hammer & Fire#BibleStudy #Matthew13 #Jeremiah23 #RecoveryVersion #ParableOfTheSower #WordOfGod #Christianity #BibleExplained #NewTestament #ChurchLife #Gospel #BibleTeaching #ChristianYouTube #SpiritualGrowth

    A Pure Heart Can See God | How simplicity before the Lord opens our eyes to His Word

    Have you ever sat down to read the Bible or pray, but your mind was already filled with everything you had to do for God?Even good motives, like preparing to serve or help someone else, can subtly crowd out the main thing: simply wanting Jesus.In Part 1 of Episode 13, we explore what it means to have an undivided heart before the Lord, and how coming to Him simply to gain Him is what truly opens up Scripture.Scriptures & Key Examples in This Episode:• Matthew 13 – The simple parable of the seed and the need for soft, receptive ground.• Matthew 5:8 – "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."• 2 Corinthians – Receiving personal nourishment from the Word without a hidden agenda.• Luke 10 – Mary and Martha: choosing the "one thing" through a simple, focused heart.• Psalm 119:130 – "The opening of Your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple."• Nehemiah 8:8 – Ezra giving the sense of the Word so the people could truly understand.When we set everything else aside just to be with Him, His Word comes alive.

    Why Location Changes Everything in the Bible | Matthew 13: From the House to the Sea.

    We often pay attention to what Jesus said, but have you ever considered where He was physically sitting when He spoke?In Matthew 13:1, Jesus "went out of the house and sat beside the sea." As highlighted in the New Testament Recovery Version footnotes, the "house" signifies the house of Israel, while the "sea" signifies the Gentile world. By stepping out to the seashore, Jesus made a distinct turn from Israel to reveal the mysteries of the kingdom and the church to His disciples. May we be like Peter, going up to the "housetop" to spend one-on-one time with Him so He can align our hearts with His purpose. Key takeaways in this episode:• The turning point of Jesus’s ministry in Matthew 12–13• How the "sea" symbolizes the Gentile nations in Daniel 7 & Revelation 17• Why locations like the mountain, sea, and housetop change the message• Peter’s vision in Acts 10 and how private time with the Lord removes inner blockagesVerses Covered:Matthew 13:1 | Matthew 10:6 | Daniel 7:3, 17 | Revelation 17:15 | Acts 10:9-16 #FoundTheBook #Matthew13 #RecoveryVersion #BibleStudy #GospelOfMatthew #BibleScripture #ChristianPodcast

    The First Great and Primary Matter

    🚪 What does it mean to shut the door and meet with the Lord in secret?“But you, when you pray, enter into your private room, and shut your door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.”- Matthew 6:6In this episode, we explore the importance of having personal time with the Lord and learning to shut out the things around us so that we can open the door of our hearts to Him.George Müller’s life is a powerful example of one who learned to seek the Lord in secret and depend on Him in prayer.Our time with the Lord is not something to fit into the leftover moments of our day. We need to learn to come before Him, shut the door, and give Him our full attention.#FoundTheBook #BibleStudy #Matthew6 #Prayer #PersonalTimeWithGod #GeorgeMuller #ChristianLife #PrayerLife #RecoveryVersion #BibleTeaching #Christianity #JesusChrist

    Two titles. Thousands of years of history. One Person.
