When Matthew wrote his gospel, he included 17 parables Jesus told. Most of those who first heard these stories enjoyed them but didn't understand them. The stories provoked questions. They still do. This study will allow you to examine the parables of Jesus as a special unit. They formed a significant part of Jesus' teaching. They helped separate the committed from those who were merely interested or curious. Jesus made sure that those who believed in Him understood the storied He told. Stories Jesus Told EZ Lessons will help you review Jesus' parables and reflect on the lessons included in those stories. This study will allow you to join the crowds that were fascinated by Jesus' teaching. The presentations place these stories in suggested life settings that show us the mixed responses to the truths Jesus illustrated in His parables. Each of the parables has been 'quoted' from the Visual Bible. The visual version of the biblical passages will create an intriguing start to your study of the Bible texts. Hosted by Pastor/Author David Jeremiah, Stories Jesus Told EZ Lessons will guide you through four studies of Jesus' parables, grouped by their major themes. Stories Jesus Told EZ Lessons will help your students reconnect with serious Bible study by starting the communication process in a familiar way-video. This package includes a facilitator's guide as well as the video presentations. Participant's guide available, stock #89353.
