The Parables of Jesus: Entering, Growing,

Jesus spoke to the people in parables - not only that, he seemed to think in parables, acted out parables - he was a walking parable.Parables are almost unknown elsewhere in Scripture, yet they comprise a huge proportion of Jesus' teaching to those around him, and through them, to us.He always intended his parables to have life-changing implications: in fact he defined them as being what determined those who were alive to his message, and those who were not.So, what impact have Jesus' parables had on your life. Have they changed yet? Terry Johnston will help you make sure that is so.

Terry Johnson is the senior minister of the Independent Presbyterian Church in Savannah, Georgia
