The Unexpected Kingdom (Matthew 13-17)

Description Who is Jesus? And what kind of kingdom does he promise his followers? These are the big questions at stake in Matthew 13-17. Travel with the disciples as they walk with Jesus in these chapters, and discover the answers he reveals to them‚ answers no less astounding today as they were back then. As Jesus moves even closer to the cross, we see that God's promised king‚ and God's promised kingdom‚ are radically different to what we might expect, and so are the implications for our 21st-century lives. About Pathway Bible Guides This Bible study resource is part of our series of Pathway Bible Guides. This series aims to provide simple, straightforward Bible study material for: Christians who are new to studying the Bible (perhaps because they've been recently converted or because they have joined a Bible study group for the first time) Christians who find other studies (such as the Interactive Bible Studies) too much of a stretch groups with limited time for study. Accordingly, we've designed the studies to be short, straightforward and easy to use, with an uncomplicated vocabulary. At the same time, we've tried to do justice to the passages being studied, and to model good Bible-reading principles. We've tried to be simple without being simplistic; no-nonsense without being no-content. The questions and answers assume a small group context, but can be easily adapted to suit different situations, such as individual study and one-to-one.
