Parables (February 12-18)

Day 1:  Matthew 13:24-43  (Sermon Focus)
Day 2:  Matthew 13:47-58  No prophet accepted in hometown
Day 3:  Matthew 14:1-34  Walk on Water & Feeding of 5,000
Day 4:  Matthew 15:1-39  Blind guides & Feeding of 4,000
Day 5:  Matthew 16:1-23  Desire for a sign

Day 6:  Reflect…
​What lessons is Jesus trying to teach through the parables?  What do we learn about the Kingdom of God from these stories?

In the miracle stories, what do we learn about the power of God?  How do these miracles provide a glimpse into God’s kingdom?

Why do you think the Pharisees and Saducees ask for a sign?  What (if any) sign would have helped them believe Jesus came from God?

What helps you to trust in Jesus in a world that is often dismissive of faith?
