Jesus was the greatest teacher who ever lived, and one of His favorite ways to teach was through parables.
In Parables of Jesus: Stories That Shape Us, Matthew J. Miller walks readers through ten selected parables of Jesus in a way that is biblical, practical, Christ-centered, and easy to understand. These are not merely interesting stories or simple moral lessons. They are kingdom stories that reveal the heart of God, expose the condition of our hearts, and call us to respond to Jesus with faith, repentance, obedience, mercy, and love.
This accessible study explores some of Jesus' most memorable parables, including the Sower, the Good Samaritan, the Unmerciful Servant, the Rich Fool, the Prodigal Son, the Wise and Foolish Builders, and more. Each chapter includes Scripture, reflection, discussion questions, and homework designed for personal study, small groups, families, or church Bible studies.
Whether you are new to the Bible or have followed Jesus for many years, this study will help you hear the stories of Jesus with fresh ears and ask the question every parable presses upon us: How will I respond to the King?
