The Parables of Jesus

Simple Stories Packed with Meaning

Jesus, the Master Teacher, was a superb storyteller. Rather than abstract doctrinal teachings, he spoke to his followers in lively discourses full of illustrations, metaphors, and stories. Through the images of seeds and soils, sheep, coins, and weddings, Jesus introduces us to God's kingdom, its principles, and the people who live in it. As you work through these studies, listen for Christ's clear and authoritative voice, speaking to you about vital spiritual realities.
