Week 5: The Feeding of the 5,000

As we wrap up our Summer School series, we consider the account of the Feeding of the 5,000. Even though we are not physically fed with the same bread that Jesus gave to the people that day, we are still spiritually fed by what we learn about Jesus and about our God in this account.

Week 4: The Parables of Priceless Treasure

As we continue to learn at the feet of Jesus, we consider three parables telling of priceless treasure. And in these parables, Jesus reminds us of the value, importance and urgency of his Kingdom.

Week 3: The Parable of the Weeds

The Parable of the Weeds gives us a lot of insight into and explanation for all of the evil that we see in the world around us. But the parable especially shows us how God would have us react and respond to all of this as we live as his people—the wheat among the weeds—in this world.

Week 2: The Parable of the Sower

As we continue to learn at the feet of our great Teacher, Jesus, we consider his parable of the sower. Jesus often used parables as a way to share important truths about faith and salvation in simple and accessible language. Jesus wants us to understand—and in the parable of the sower, we can see and clearly understand God’s activity in his kingdom, and our place in that kingdom.

Week 1: The Promise of Rest

We know that physical rest is important. And we take a lot of steps to make good rest possible—buying the right mattress, keeping the right schedule, taking the right kind of vacations. We place a high value on physical rest. But we need more than physical rest. We need spiritual rest. And the only place to find that true rest is in Jesus.
