From 26th September to the end of October we will turn our attention to the parables of Grace. In these parables the lost, the least, the lifeless and the lonely receive grace from, for example, shepherds, kings, fathers and Samaritans. While the bulk of these are in Luke’s gospel, the first two we shall look at in September are from Matthew’s gospel:
