This Sunday

Stories portray ideas and experiences, imagination and teaching that stick with the hearer for hours, days, months and even years. What’s one of the earliest stories you can remember hearing? Who was the main character? What was the point or theme of the story? From another angle: what story has changed your life? Shifted your perspective? Reshaped a way of thinking? Today we look at two of the three parables found in Luke 15, told by Jesus, to tax collectors, sinners, Pharisees, and scribes. Stories cross boundaries made by men and can reveal truth previously hidden. What aim did Jesus carry when he shared these stories? How can that help us think and speak today?
