The beginning of April will mark the end of a several month study of the Parables of Jesus. The Friday night Bible Study group has enjoyed, reading alongside the parables, the book Christ Object Lessons. Participants in the study have said it was life changing and drew them closer to God.
Of note the parables of The Sower, The Lost Son, The Unmerciful Servant, and The Good Samaritan were especially insightful studies. In the parable of The Sower we are reminded that God grows the seeds and we are along to help him. The Lost Son reminded us that God never gives up on us. The parable of The Unmerciful Servant gave us the challenge to extend forgiveness to others in our lives. And lastly The Good Samaritan gave us pause on thinking too highly our own work that we neglect to meet the needs of those before us.
As a way to share this blessing further, March 23 Sharing Service, the congregation was invited to share their favorite parables. Many parables were shared including The Net, The Two Sons, and The Laborers. One Bible Study participate gave a ringing endorsement of how the parables have challenged and changed her. The Friday Night Bible Study looks forward to the next set of studies beginning in April.
