In Matthew's gospel, we learn that Jesus' ministry was characterized by "preaching the good news of the kingdom." One of his main messages was, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."

These are some of the big questions that will guide our exploration of Jesus' kingdom parables in the gospel of Matthew. Come and join us as we explore these passages together every Sunday morning!
