Episode Synopsis

The sermon centers on the call to faithful stewardship of divine revelation, drawing from Jesus' final teaching in Matthew 13:51–52, where He likens every well-instructed scribe of the Kingdom of Heaven to a householder who brings forth both new and old treasures from his storehouse. It emphasizes that true discipleship involves not only personal understanding of Scripture but also the active, responsible proclamation of God's Word—both the timeless truths of the Old Testament and their fulfillment in Christ, which make them newly meaningful. The preacher underscores that believers, as God's treasured people, are called to be faithful scribes, preserving and declaring the gospel with authenticity and urgency, not merely as scholars but as witnesses who have personally experienced God's grace. This calling is rooted in Christ's Great Commission and exemplified by the apostles, who testified to what they had seen, heard, and touched. The message is both a challenge and a comfort: though we do not know all things, we are to faithfully share what we have been given, so that others may see the treasure of Christ in us and come to believe.
