Описание

What will you do with the invitation of Jesus? In Matthew 21:23–22:14, Jesus confronts the religious leaders through a series of parables that reveal the difference between religious performance and true repentance. Pastor Joby Martin and Pastor One unpack the seriousness of rejecting Jesus, the patience of God, and the scandal of grace that invites sinners into His Kingdom. The invitation has been extended.
