10 Parables of Jesus Workbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781505506396)

God has many ways of teaching us. Jesus taught by example. Men looked at how He lived, and decided to walk that way also. He also taught by precept, speaking directly to people. But His favorite way of teaching was through the use of the parable. He loved to tell with spiritual meaning. Jesus was a master storyteller. Unlike most storytellers, however, He did not tell his stories to entertain. He told stories to teach. He wanted His listeners to learn about God, about God's Kingdom, about God's Son, and about themselves. The stories He told were filled with humor, common sense, biting satire, and deep spiritual truth. They prodded. They stimulated. They answered questions. They raised questions. But always, they pointed men toward God's highest way for the lives of the listeners. This workbook is designed to be used with the video messages found at www.JamieBuckinghamMinistries.com. Each segment runs about 12 minutes. In this study of 10 parables of Jesus you'll visit the sites where Jesus was when He told His marvelous stories. In one session, you'll stand with me high above the ruins of an ancient inn along the notorious road from Jerusalem to Jericho where a despised Samaritan stopped to render aid to a dying man after the religious people passed him by. You will visit the ancient stone towers in the middle of an olive grove where the father stood and waited for his prodigal son to return home. You will visit a deep wadi where Jesus might have stood as He told the story of the two houses, one built on the sand and the other on the rock. You will also visit the Western Wall where Jesus stood when he told the parable of the two men who went into the Temple to pray. You will meet yourself in one or all of these parables. And hopefully, the person you see will then call out to God for change and growth. Welcome to the wonderful world of the story. Welcome to the wonderful heart of the Storyteller.
