Paul calls the church in Thessalonians to pray continually!

The Parables—Stories You Remember. If you’re an adult and want Bible study this summer, here’s a good option during the Sunday school hour. Each week we’ll be looking at one of the parables Jesus told and searching in the context to find out why He told it. Planting seed, treasure in a field, weeds—it’s easy to remember the stories, we want to dig deeper for the lessons. For any questions contact Dale at dale@stpaulsatlanta.com.
