Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did.

If you plan to respond, please do so by July 31 in either of the ways mentioned above. Small Group Questions Have a little fun with this question… what part of the body are you and why?
