How has the church understood Matthew 13:44–52 through the centuries? Before examining the text ourselves, we trace the history of its interpretation.

Let's examine Psalm 61:2 in its historical and literary context, explore the imagery of the "rock," and consider how this well-known verse can be applied today without losing its original meaning.

Thank you for joining us! Our regular service live streams at at 9:45 AM, 11:00 AM, and 5:00 PM on Sundays and 7:00 PM on Wednesdays. (Mountain Standard Time)
