Summer Re-run: Parables—Reading the Stories of Jesus in a New Light
Telling stories, parables, was a central facet of Jesus’s approach to sharing his message and vision. He was doing more than telling simple morality tales. His stories were grounded in the world in which he lived and his vision of the kingdom of God.
Each week we will view a 10-minute video on one parable and then have a casual discussion. Each class session is independent.
