Week Eight - The Children in the Marketplace

Welcome to Week Eight of our Bible Study! This week, we will continue our study of the parables of Jesus. We will look at a parable recorded in Matthew 11:16-19 and Luke 7:31-35. This story is used as a means to rebuke the “people of this generation.” Some questions we will address during our study time:

-          Who is the target audience for this parable?

-          Where did most of Jesus public ministry take place?

-          Who was the target audience for most of Jesus public ministry?

-          Who are the “people of this generation?”

-          What else was Jesus talking about when he told this parable?

-          What were the Jewish leaders looking for and why were they so at odds with Jesus?

-          Why did Jesus perform so many miracles?

As always, we have lots of things to discuss and ponder this week. I look forward to seeing you all Sunday at 7 pm.

Here are the details about joining us on Zoom.

About Zoom:  We will use Zoom for this Bible study. If you are using a computer, just type in www.zoom.com and select “Join a Meeting” at the top of the page, then enter the meeting ID: 696 778 0839.

If you are using a phone, iPad or other portable device, then you will need to download the free Zoom app. Once you have the Zoom app, just open it and select “Join” a meeting, and use this ID:  696 778 0839. I would encourage everyone to go into their Zoom settings and add in a name, at a minimum, so everyone can see who you are.

Alternately, if you don’t want to download the app, you can open your device browser and enter www.zoom.com and follow the instructions above.

Regardless of what device you use, once you join, you will enter a waiting room and then I will admit you. I will typically open the meeting about 10 minutes early so folks can get joined and work through any technical issues. You are free to join with or without video, but if you want to talk, which I really encourage everyone to do, please turn your camera on so we can see you.

I have the meeting set up so that it automatically mutes everyone when you join, so don’t forget to “unmute” when you want to talk. Again, I encourage everyone to discuss topics, answer questions, ask questions or otherwise participate in the discussion. Please jump in if you have information to help clarify a point or you just need to talk. It’s all fine!
