The kingdom has been announced (Matthew 5-7) and the mission has been assigned (Matthew 10). The obvious question at this point is, what will the response be to this good news? Some will receive it with joy, but many will turn a blind eye and move on. Many will refuse to see the beauty and value of this news that God\'s kingdom has arrived! In this parable discourse, Jesus will explain why so many refuse to listen, while at the same time demonstrating their refusal by using parables that force the serious listener to dig deeper. This teaching series invites listeners to lean in to the best news in human history: God has visited us to draw us to himself!
