This Lenten season, we will continue our journey through the pages of Matthew. Specifically, we will explore many of the parables that Jesus told in the last days before his crucifixion. He knew that the time before his death was growing short, and so his teaching grew urgent. The parables that he told were clear and direct, and yet they were filled with grace. Join us as we enter this season of reflection, hearing Jesus’ words with fresh ears, and with a new sense of urgency.
