“This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.” — Matthew 13:13 ESV
Jesus’ parables are more than memorable stories. They reveal the truth of God’s kingdom and invite us to listen closely, not only to understand with our minds, but to allow His words to reach our hearts and change how we live.
Matthew 13 reminds us that none of us sees spiritual truth clearly on our own. We need God to open our eyes and help us understand, and when He does, He calls us to turn from sin and put our faith in Jesus.
Throughout this semester, we’ll study the parables and ask God to give us eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts ready to respond. Whether you have followed Jesus for years or are simply exploring what you believe, you are welcome here!
See you soon at 8:30, 9:45, & 11:00 am!
