Jesus' Journey to Jericho

Wednesday morning meetings at the Manse during November  from 10.30 - 12 noon

​
Picture
The town of Jericho lies between Galilee and Jerusalem. Jesus travelled through it on his last journey to Jerusalem. 

Modern Jericho is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world and still surrounded by ancient walls.

It was at one of the town gates that Jesus met blind Bartimaeus and outside the town that he met Zacchaeus who climbed a sycamore tree. Afterwards while speaking to the crowds he told them the Parable of the Gold Coins. The hill road from Jericho to Jerusalem was the setting of his Parable of the Good Samaritan.

​
Our meetings are a time for sharing and learning together through the teachings and promises of the Lord Jesus. 

7th Nov      Jesus and Bartimaeus
14th Nov    Jesus and Zacchaeus
21st Nov     The Parable of the Gold Coins
