The Parables of Jesus
This Week: Parable of the Talents
Jesus was a master storyteller. He used simple stories, called parables, to communicate the deep truths of Scripture and what life was supposed to look like in the Kingdom of God. In this message series, we will take a look at some of these timeless parables and understand how they still have a lasting impact on those who decide to follow Jesus.
