Sunday Gathering - August 9th

 

Because the church’s building is still in a level 3 evacuation zone, we will not be gathering there on Sunday morning. Instead, we will gather for Sunday worship at Faith Bible Church at 1:00 pm.

 

Address: 440 W Cora Ave, Spokane, WA 99205

On August 1st, our Spokane community suffered a nearly incomprehensible disaster as fires tore through our city — including the neighborhood we love and call home, where our church building is also located.

 

To date, 6 families have suffered a complete loss of their home, property, and possessions, and nearly half of our roughly 400-member congregation has been displaced, living in temporary housing due to necessary evacuations — with friends, relatives, in hotels, or other accommodations.

 

Many people and churches have asked how they can specifically help, and we have set up a Fire Relief Fund for our church.

 

These resources will be used to care for the immediate, mid-term, and long-term needs of ITC members, and as the Lord gives opportunity, for the good and upbuilding of others in our area.

 

Although there is much tragedy, we grieve with great hope because of the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord.

 

If you or your church desire to help and serve our church and those we're connected to, please direct your giving to the Indian Trail Church – Fire Relief Fund.

Matthew 22:1-15

December 1, 2019 Speaker: Will Barkley Series: Matthew

Passage: Matthew 22:1–15

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION

- What are the similarities between biblical parables and worldly fables? How are they different?

- In the parable that Jesus tells in Matthew 22:1-14, how would you describe the character of the king? Who does the parable king represent?

- How would you describe the character of the people who first received the king's invitation? Who do they represent? Do you think the people of our time are as wicked as these people described in the parable?

- The king responds to this first group of people with righteous anger. If the king represents God the loving Father, what does this also reveal about him?

- After the king in the parable dispenses justice on the first group, he invites a new group of people to come to the feast. Who do these people represent, and why are they worthy of invitation?

- What is does the "wedding garment" represent in Matthew 22:11-12? When the king questions the man without a wedding garment, what does the man's response reveal about him?

- How does the gospel of Jesus Christ help us make sense of Matthew 22:14?
