SERIES INTRODUCTION
This November, our Sunday morning auditorium class and our worship sermon will complement one another in a unified series called The Greatest Stories Ever Told.
​
Each week, Jeff Smith will lead the auditorium class through one of Jesus’ parables, helping us see
the depth, context, and meaning within the text itself.
​
Then, in the worship assembly, David Swanger will take that same parable and draw out one powerful, practical lesson we can carry into the week.
Our goal is:
-
Scripture studied
-
Scripture lived out
-
one Story at a time
INDIVIDUAL LESSONS
Below are the lessons in the series thru November 1, 2026.
Additional lessons will be added as they are taught.

November 1, 2026
In Matthew 18:21–35, Jesus tells a striking story about a man who is forgiven an impossible, crushing debt - an amount so large he could never repay it in a hundred lifetimes. Yet after receiving this breathtaking grace, he immediately goes out and refuses to forgive someone who owes him only a small sum.
Jesus’ point is unmistakable: the forgiven must become forgivers. Grace received is meant to become grace given. When God releases us from our overwhelming debt, He expects that same mercy to flow through us to others.-
