July 30, 2023: Finding and Gathering (Matthew 13:44-52)

To begin the session:

Distribute copies of “Kingdom Teaching” activity from the activity page, which you can download here. Have learners complete it individually (in a minute or less).

After calling time on the activity, have pairs discuss how easy it can be for people to place value on the wrong things. Transition to the lesson by saying, “Jesus played on people’s inaccurate perceptions of value as he taught them using parables regarding that which has ultimate value.”

To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:

Distribute copies of the “Inventory of Everything” activity from the activity page. Have learners complete it individually (in a minute or less) before discussing conclusions in small groups, but with no pressure to reveal private information.
