Reading: Matthew 21:33-46 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.” – Matthew 21:42-43 Lest we think that going through the gesture of praying for forgiveness will magically save us from eternal damnation, let us remember that true…

Reading: Matthew 13:51-52 “Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked. “Yes,” they replied.
