Fall Sermon Series: “Grace That Wrecks Us: The Parables of Christ”
This fall, we’re listening to the stories Jesus told—the parables. Jesus used ordinary things like seeds and soil, lost coins, dinner parties, farmers, fathers, and sons to reveal the extraordinary grace of the kingdom of God.
But these stories aren’t simply cute illustrations or moral lessons. The parables are disruptive—more like a wrecking ball—designed to challenge our assumptions about God, ourselves, and our neighbors, and then rebuild our imaginations around the scandalous grace of His kingdom.
Jesus often ends these stories with some version of, “Whoever has ears, let them hear.” We invite you to come ready to listen–peeking over the fence Ito the grace of God. These ancient stories may be more surprising—and more relevant to our lives—than we ever imagined.
