A parable is a story designed to teach a lesson through comparison. When you hear the story, you can relate it to your own life.  Parables convey their message of truth through analogy, through comparison or contrast.   Jesus often utilized parables as teaching aids, which made comparisons of spiritual matters to earthly stories that His followers could easily understand.  Oftentimes, these ancient stories are stunningly still applicable in modern times.  In the first three Gospels, we find 35 recorded parables that Jesus preached.   During the course of this study participants will explore and journey together through some of the popular New Testament parables, reaching for deeper understanding and work together to see how these stories apply to life in the 21st century.
