We will be looking at the place of Incarnation and Messiah within the ‘big story’ of the Bible. We will also look at the idea of what kind of King Jesus was. We will analyse the parables of 'the unforgiving servent' and 'the great banquet' – a Saviour from God – is important in the world today and, if it is true, what difference that might make in people’s lives.
