Deacon Tom will speak about parables in Chapters 22 and 25 of the Gospel of Matthew. In his account of Jesus' last three sermons, Matthew presents some of Jesus' most provocative parables that teach about topics like the Kingdom, Mercy, and Preparing for the Lord's Return. This Bible Study will explore the context and purpose of these stories and the teaching that the Lord intended His followers to take from them. Each week will focus on one of the three themes mentioned above. We meet downstairs at St. John's at 1:00 PM. Please tell your friends!
