    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 29, 2025
     | 154 views

    The final posting on the Parable of the Pearl of Great Price looks at the church at Philadelphia again, then moves to the period of Church History that is represented by this parable. It is not a denomination or a particular church. It is explained in the message.

The Kingdom Parables – The Sixth – The Pearl of Greatest Price – Part 4 of 4 In this final Part we look especially at the place the Parable of the pearl of greatest price has in Church History as we have done with each of the parables.
