Summer Series at First Baptist:
The parables of Jesus from the Gospel According to Matthew.
Jesus engaged listeners with his parables. They weren’t straightforward and required reflection. Even after hearing the same story time after time, there seems to be still more. Jesus also used them to present people with a choice. Would they hear and understand? Would they listen?
What is the Kingdom of Heaven like?
This week, we are reflecting on the the remaining parables found in Matthew 13. What is the Kingdom of Heaven like? It’s like a hidden treasure. And it’s also like a precious pearl. It’s worth giving up everything to pursue it. And it’s worth waiting for.
