The Kingdom of God: Past, Present, Future | Part 2
Building on our prior class, Jim Russ will lead us as we consider Jesus’ parables about the kingdom of God. They’re straight from the mouth of Jesus, but what do they mean?
Journey With Scripture | Second Floor Library
“…even though you have no faith in me personally, then believe in the things that I do. Then you may come to know and realize that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”—John 10:38
God provides grace for recognizing Jesus’ identity and the power of his resurrection. This is good news—a deep, abiding process of transformation and reconciliation. You have everything to gain! The Spirit is gentle, not reckless or careless. Join us for Easter readings on coming to know the joy of salvation.
Join us for this week’s readings: Acts 16:9–15; Psalm 67; Revelation 21:10, 22–22:5; and John 14:23–29.
