Have you ever wondered why Jesus often spoke in parables? Are you curious about what lessons we can learn from these parables today? Pastor and bestselling author John MacArthur breaks down the parables and teaches us how we can apply these deceptively simple stories to modern Christianity.

 

Jesus was a master storyteller, and the parables he often told were no exception. Beneath these unassuming stories were deeply profound spiritual lessons that were designed to reach all who heard them–from the faithful to the faithless–and they’re still relevant today.

Women’s Study – The Book of Titus by Chip Ingram & Living Life Together by Shauna Niquist
Class led by Kady Hofer

 

The Book of Titus by Chip Ingram – In this Book of the Bible series, Chip Ingram unpacks the book of Titus. He challenges us to display the gospel in our lives through doing good. We do good works not to earn God’s favor, but as a result of God’s favor. When the gospel has truly taken root in our lives, it produces the fruit of godliness. As we pass these things on to future generations, the Church stands in bright contrast to the darkness of the world.

Living Life Together by Shauna Niquist – What holds women back from pursuing deep community? The “Living Life Together” Bible Study featuring Shauna Niequist is for women who stay busy to avoid connections, resist deep relationships for fear of being judged, or need a biblical vision for living life with others in Christ.
