A parable is a short story that conveys a greater truth about the Kingdom of God. Over thirty of Jesus’ parables are recorded in the Gospels. We’ve probably heard them all many times. Like old family stories, they can become very familiar but also more and more comforting throughout our lives.
For each of us, one particular parable of Jesus may resonate strongly or have special meaning. That’s what we want to explore in this session, Your Favorite Parable.
Please prayerfully consider the following before our meeting.
