Parables

Produced by Coldwater Media

What is a parable? Jesus connected with the every day life of people through His parables. In this clip, from Drive Thru History with Dave Stotts "The Gospels,' we learn that parables were "comparisons to make a point." Some parables were purposely vague and Jesus explains why he taught in parables and we hear some of Jesus' most cherished parables-the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan.

The Conversationalist

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

Many times when Jesus spoke, he spoke in parables. Short stories using everyday situations so that we could better understand who He was, the nature of God and the kingdom of heaven. He did this through one on one conversations, talks within a small group and even large crowds. The parables in scripture speak to us as if we were having a one on one conversation with Jesus in real time. Use this series to unpack some of his most famous parables and the meaning behind them.
