S1E11 Mathews Banquet - Wine Skins & Garments - Parables

Today’s Study: New Cloth on an Old Coat & New Wine in Old Wineskins | Luke 5:36–39
Welcome back! Today we dive into two of Jesus’ most thought-provoking parables: the new cloth on an old coat and new wine in old wineskins. These teachings, shared during a feast following Matthew’s call to discipleship, reveal the genius of Jesus’ message about spiritual renewal and transformation.
What You’ll Learn:
• Why patching old garments with new cloth doesn’t work—and what that means for our faith
• How wineskins teach us about flexibility, growth, and the danger of clinging to outdated religious structures
• The deeper spiritual truth: Jesus didn’t come to patch the old covenant—He came to fulfill it and usher in something entirely new
Modern Analogy: Think of trying to upgrade an outhouse with a porcelain toilet—without plumbing! It’s not just ineffective, it’s destructive. Jesus calls us to a complete overhaul, not a spiritual retrofit.
