Everyone loves and remembers a great story. Stories are engaging, suspenseful, funny, and oftentimes you learn something at the end. That’s why Jesus taught primarily in story form. Whether it was illustrating the love of God, exemplifying how to live a Christ-centered life, or showing the importance of persistence in prayer, the parables of Jesus were meant to serve as teachable moments for the disciples and everyone listening- and there are a lot of them! Throughout the next six weeks, you’ll be reading through thirty of the parables Jesus told. Keep in mind that some may be easier to understand than others, and different parables will speak to different people in different ways. Still, every one of them is valuable for you to read and discuss in order to better understand the message of Jesus.
