Download or read book The Stories Jesus Told written by Kay Gabrysch and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-05-12 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Stories Jesus Told, teacher Kay Gabrysch presents study questions to equip and encourage you to align your mind and heart with the kingdom ethics Jesus taught in his parables. Appropriate for individual use or small groups, this 12-week study explores how Christians are to think Biblically about how the Kingdom of God challenges our present-day thinking. The questions lead to a conversation with Jesus in which the Lord himself reveals both the privileges and responsibilities of those who call themselves Kingdom citizens. This is a tremendous study for any adult, alone or with a group. Kay leads us through a careful interpretive process in order to learn deeply from Scripture. Each lesson ensures we observe the text carefully and reference other passages to aid in making theological conclusions. With well-researched notes on the original culture and language, Kay helps us check our biases and assumptions. Then, she provides ways for us to respond to what Jesus is teaching in our daily lives; we see ourselves in God’s Story and in his Kingdom work. Dr. Tasha Chapman, Professor of Educational Ministries, Covenant Theological Seminary I am thrilled that Kay Gabrysch has published another study guide that helps lead women to a better understanding of God’s Word. Her questions and teaching points help to make these parables come alive. We see how Jesus taught to reach hearts and transform them through the use of stories. Do you want your women to know Christ? Study the parables. When our women did this study, we found that it helped all of us, young and old, new believer and mature believer, understand the heart of Christ in new and fresh ways. And, more importantly, we are different women because of Christ’s revelation of Himself through the parables. Kari Stainback, Director of Women’s Ministries, Park Cities Presbyterian Church In this life stirring study, Kay allows us to grapple with Jesus’ own words. An astute student of the original context, we learn with Kay to discern Jesus as the Bible presents him. Through Jesus’ own stories our hearts are reshaped and formed as we experience and offer his wiser love in the real world. Dr. Zack Eswine, Scholar-in-Residence, Francis Schaeffer Institute

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before there were printing presses, copy machines, and email, societies used storytelling to convey beliefs, history, and traditions. This practice preceded the ministry of Jesus and continues today in many cultures. But Jesus was a master of storytelling. His words provide many with guidelines and a road map for living. Using familiar imagery found in nature and other recognizable sources, he engaged his listeners with lessons that confronted every aspect of their lives, providing the tools for self-examination and change. Speaking in parables, however, sometimes caused confusion for his listeners, and readers today may wonder what exactly he meant, and how his words apply to everyday life. This book looks at each of Jesus's parables, explaining the key points, the central themes, and the meanings we can take away from the stories. By considering each parable in depth, the author helps readers come to a better understanding of the teachings of Jesus and what they mean for our lives.

Download or read book Hints of Heaven written by Fr. George Rutler and published by Sophia Institute Press. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ knew that the splendor of heaven is too great for us to bear just now, and so he used parables as clues to the mystery of paradise. In them are hints of heaven, and they offer profound spiritual advice meant to guide us on the road to eternal glory. In our age, Christ's Parables are often reduced to exercises in moralism. In these pages, Fr. George Rutler - acclaimed author and EWTN television host - unveils these deceptively simple stories, showing you their hidden meanings and how they apply to our own age and way of life. Let Fr. Rutler take you on an enriching tour of Scripture's 24 parables as you learn: Tares in the Field of the Lord: Why it's necessary that scandals beset the Church - and how it brings about a stronger harvest. The Mustard Seed: Why it gave hope to the early Church and prefigures her glorious future. The Yeast: How God speaks in a gentle and inward voice which melts the soul, and how you could be drowning Him out. The Hidden Treasure: Are you responding properly to the unique gifts Christ has given you? The Net: Many will be sifted out. How to be sure you're among the souls He keeps. The Unmerciful Servant: Not only must you forgive, you must convert the offender. Are you a channel for God's grace? Laborers in the Vineyard: Are you letting selfishness and pride get in the way of the salvation of your neighbor's soul? The Two Sons: The dangers of agnosticism. Are you guilty? You may be astonished at the answer. The Marriage of the King's Son: Why frequent reception of the sacraments is necessary for dwelling at the wedding feast. The Ten Virgins: There's a difference between watching and being prepared for Christ's return. Are you ready? The Ten Talents: God has given you a special gift. Do you know what it is, and how you should use it? The Two Debtors: How to know if you are going "through the motions" without Christ's love. The Good Samaritan: Do you know the most overlooked element of this parable? It may surprise you. The Rich Fool: Our capacity for self-deception is limitless. Learn the only way to be truly know yourself. The Barren Fig Tree: Time is running out, and we have one last chance to cultivate virtue. Will you bear fruit in time? The Great Supper: There's room for all in the heavenly banquet, but not all will find room. Are you making excuses that lead you into isolation? The Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin: Do you judge others, or do you receive them as Christ did? Why your approach to lost sheep could cost you your soul. The Prodigal Son: Learn how this famous parable explains why God created mankind and chose to give Himself to us. The Unjust Steward: The world is filled with evildoers. Are you mirroring the light of Christ? The Rich Man and Lazarus: Learn the evils of self-sufficiency, and the dangers of taking gifts for granted. The Unjust Judge: Why you must persevere in prayer despite your continued sins. The Pharisee and the Publican: Why even though you may not commit great sins, your failure to put faith into action could ruin your soul.

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered why Jesus often spoke in parables? Are you curious about what lessons we can learn from these parables today? Pastor and bestselling author John MacArthur breaks down the parables and teaches us how we can apply these deceptively simple stories to modern Christianity. Jesus was a master storyteller, and the parables he often told were no exception. Beneath these unassuming stories were deeply profound spiritual lessons that were designed to reach all who heard them--from the faithful to the faithless--and they're still relevant today. In Parables, MacArthur argues that these short, memorable stories represented more than just symbolism or a clever teaching style--they were carefully crafted tales that made the mysteries of the Gospel more accessible to everyday believers. Parables will help you see Jesus' teachings in a brand new light, addressing some of the most common questions on the topic, including: When did Jesus start teaching in parables? What makes parables so accessible? How can we interpret these stories? What common threads link each of the parables together? What do parables teach us about the kingdom of God? MacArthur has spent a lifetime sharing the Word of God in clear and comprehensible terms with believers of all walks of life. Let him be your guide as he sheds light on the essential lessons contained in the most infamous and influential short stories the world has ever known.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The parables of Jesus—like the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, and the Laborers in the Vineyard—make up the most distinctive element of his teaching and are essential to our common memory of Jesus. However, almost all of them open themselves to multiple interpretations, leaving interpreters to scratch their heads and argue with one another for centuries. In this book, Greg Carey explores six of Jesus’ stories to understand how to read them, interpret them, and understand what they mean for our own lives today. The Leader Guide contains everything needed to guide a group through the six-week study including session plans, activities, and discussion questions, as well as multiple format options.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year before the Lenten season begins I reflect on what I will sacrifice in spiritual preparation for Easter and the celebration of our Lords resurrection. In 2011 I decided to take a different path. Instead of giving something up I would gain something of substance, I would embark on an examination of the Parables of Jesus. What better way to strengthen my spiritual relationship with Jesus than to read and study the Words of our Lord. Ironically, as I was mentally preparing to embark on this incorporeal journey, my father called to chat. During this conversation, in the way only a loving father can, he began to chastise me about using the gifts God had blessed me with in a positive way. My father reminded me that I was a gifted writerhis choice of wordsand a talented visual artist. He encouraged me to revisit these activities and get busy doing something worthwhile with these gifts. WHAT DOES JESUS ASK US TO DO? The Parables of Jesus as a Guide to Daily Living is the resulting convergence of my fathers exhortative conversation and my personal Lenten covenant. I decided that I would share this reflective commentary with others by chronicling my interpretation of the parables and related Scripture passages. What better way to consummate the end of my spiritual Lenten sojourn than to share this process with others in a published document. With a renewed commitment and focused plan of action, I began to think about the format that would be appropriate for this treatise. Because I was planning to treat my study of the parables of Jesus as a daily devotional guide, this seemed to be the best way to approach the creation of the book. The result is a recap of each parable, a summary of the meaning Jesus imparted to His audience and a call to action and or personal consideration. Each study concludes with a brief prayer. As the Lenten season was drawing to a close and my study of the parables was almost complete I began to think of artwork for the cover of what would become WHAT DOES JESUS ASK US TO DO? There were so many beautiful Biblical images that would be suitable. As I leafed through books with exquisitely inspiring images I thought back to the conversation with my father. It was then I decided to create the cover art myself. The result is The Parables Stained Glass Windows, a triptych of three collages depicting an iconic ecclesiastical symbol. As Easter Sunday drew near I reflected on this spiritual journey through the Parables of Jesus. I considered all I had learned about what Jesus wants from me, what I had learned about my own spirituality and faith. But more importantly I felt a profound sense of accomplishment and a deep sense of gratitude for my fathers love and encouragement. Helen M. Moss, April 24, 2011
