Why the Parables?

Jesus’s parables are familiar and popular, but they are sometimes misinterpreted or misapplied, treated as timeless stories with moral lessons. But Jesus isn’t simply relaying information or providing instruction, he’s ushering in his kingdom. In this Bible study, we’ll discover that the parables are not merely describing something but doing something through the words and works of Jesus.

This weekly study will be held each Wednesday at 1:30 pm, at the home of Pam and John Barron at 222, Green Bay Road in Barriefield.

All are most welcome to participate. There's lots of great, thoughtful discussion and much warm fellowship. Study sheets are sent out, through email, prior to the Wednesday session.

If you are interested in participating, let John know at: jpgalleries2004@yahoo.ca
