This series is intended for adults (of any age) to use in small groups, mid-week Bible study, Sunday school, or any other group setting. These lessons are perfect for the less-casual group because they are written in a way that, while the writer shares some information, the class does most of the "work" through discussion and reflection. There are even on-your-own journaling prompts to use between gatherings. Maybe the best feature is that, while someone needs to need to facilitate (or several persons can rotate facilitating), no one has to be the designated teacher. The lessons are written from the Reformed perspective and utilize scripture, but are based on general themes. The number of lessons varies from study to study. Each participant will need need his/her own book.

This study is 13 lessons on the theme of Parables used by Jesus. See the photo, and below, for more information.

These lessons are based on some of the lesser-known parables Jesus used to teach his disciples, and sometimes to silence his critics. While each lesson is based on at least one of Jesus' parables, the range of teachings presented here is surprisingly wide. Sometimes Jesus taught about moral or ethical behavior, and sometimes he taught about the singleness of purpose needed for those who seek the kingdom of God.
