This fall Adult Education is taking the fall sermon series—Curate Your Heart—to heart! Our classes center on several of the themes our preachers will be exploring from the pulpit—love of God, love of neighbor, forgiveness and reconciliation, mercy and justice. As we curate our hearts, we will discipline our minds as well.

Using the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30, Luke 19:11-27) as our text, this class challenges us to consider the concept of Biblical justice. With this challenging parable, what might Jesus be trying to teach us about retributive justice and restorative justice?
