Jesus was a master storyteller. Through the use of parables, He could reveal His true nature and communicate important spiritual truths. The stories His followers recorded hold our attention, stir our emotions, and help us remember His teachings. The most popular are recognized by those outside the faith (e.g., the Good Samaritan) and the teachings they contain continue to challenge Jesus’s followers today. In Storyteller [https://messiahstcharles.org/storyteller/], we will look at some of the lesser-known parables to uncover what Jesus was telling His first followers about the Kingdom of God that we are still trying to understand today.

Pastor Chuck Schlie and Ryan Pfendler joined Jill Devine this week to talk about the lesser known parables they preached on during our Storyteller series; The Narrow Door [https://messiahstcharles.org/messages/the-storyteller-the-narrow-door/], Workers In The Vineyard [https://messiahstcharles.org/messages/the-storyteller-workers-in-the-vineyard/], and The Great Banquet [https://messiahstcharles.org/messages/the-storyteller-the-great-banquet/].

113: Lesser Known Parables In The Bible (Part 2)

Jesus was a master storyteller. Through the use of parables, He could reveal His true nature and communicate important spiritual truths. The stories His followers recorded hold our attention, stir our emotions, and help us remember His teachings. The most popular are recognized by those outside the faith (e.g., the Good Samaritan) and the teachings they contain continue to challenge Jesus’s followers today. In Storyteller [https://messiahstcharles.org/storyteller/], we will look at some of the lesser-known parables to uncover what Jesus was telling His first followers about the Kingdom of God that we are still trying to understand today.

Pastor Jim Mueller joined Jill Devine this week to talk about the lesser known parables he preached on during our Storyteller series; The Fig Tree [https://messiahstcharles.org/messages/the-storyteller-the-fig-tree/] and The Unmerciful Servant [https://messiahstcharles.org/messages/the-storyteller-the-unmerciful-servant/].

104: Guided Prayer For JOY

Christianity has become known for judgey people, strange words, ancient stories, confusing rules, and a members only mindset. This is why I stayed away from the church for so long, but it’s not supposed to be that way. I’m Jill Devine, a former radio personality with three tattoos, a love for a good tequila, and who’s never read the entire Bible, yet here I am hosting a podcast about faith. The Normal Goes A Long Way podcast is your home for real conversations with real people using real language about how faith and real life intersect.
