Two are Better Than One

Welcome to Week Ten of our Bible Study! This week, we will look at parables recorded in Matthew 13:44-51. There are three comparisons made between objects and the Kingdom of God. It is interesting to note how many times Jesus made references to the Kingdom in his public ministry. In these verses, He speaks of the Kingdom’s value to the one who finds it, and also explains how the evil ones will be removed from among the righteous at the end of times.  Some questions we will address during our study time: -           Why are the evil ones allowed to exist amongst the righteous? -           Can we easily determine who the evil ones are? -           What deeds are manifested by those who are evil? -           What value do you place on the Kingdom of God? -           In Matthew 6, Jesus said to “seek first the Kingdom of God…” What does it mean to you to “seek first?” -           What worldly things distract us from pursuing the Kingdom? -           What is the earthly reward
