Missionaries, pastors, and the average Christian will encounter suffering in their lives and the lives of those they love and serve.

In Mark 4:10-12, Jesus says that the purpose of the Parables is to teach truth to those that seek, and to hide it from those who will not.

Join us in our 7-Day journey through the Parables and discover the profound wisdom of these simple stories.

In this Seven Day study we will study the 7 “Signs” of Jesus, and the 7 “I AM" statements of Jesus, to demonstrate that John structured his book in a way that helps the reader see that Jesus fulfills the ministry of Elisha.
