"Some sections of the Bible give us grand theology. Some move us to grateful responses to God. But the parables break through mere words and make us ask whether there has indeed been any real difference in our lives." In this beloved classic, James Boice takes us systematically through the parables of Jesus, grouping them into five categories: parables of the kingdom, salvation, wisdom and folly, the Christian life, and judgment. In each section Boice brings Jesus' words to bear on life today. Through his careful study and clear explanation of each parable—born from a sermon series he preached at the Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, where he pastored for 32 years—he helps us understand just what Jesus meant, and how our hearts and lives ought to respond. Jesus' parables are memorable for a reason. Discover their power for yourself.

Thousands of small groups, community groups, life groups, Bible studies, and Sunday School classes meet weekly all over the world. Most of these groups are led by lay people who have jobs, children, and other responsibilities leaving them little time to prepare for a weekly study. Most of the participants also encounter the same time constraints. Hence, these study groups have a need for high-quality study materials that require little preparation time for both leaders and participants. The No-Prep Bible Study Series was designed to meet that need. This book, Jesus' Most Popular Parables, has five focused lessons that require basically no preparation on the part of anyone in the group. Simply read the passages, read the short text, and let everyone answer the questions. The guided nature of the study tends to keep the more exuberant members from dominating and gets the less talkative members to become involved. And every lesson can be wrapped up in 45 minutes! Kenny Beck's unique perspectives and interesting lines of questioning lead to discussions that are impacting, thought-provoking, and ultimately life changing!

The third volume in the Biblical Explorations series from bestselling New Testament writer Paula Gooder explores a major exponent of the Gospels: the parables of Jesus. Covering every parable, this volume focuses on some of the best-known stories in the gospels, mining their meaning afresh today. It considers why Jesus spoke in pictures and opens up the world behind the parables to reveal just how striking, memorable and challenging they were for their original hearers. Biblical Explorations is an exciting series that offers an accessible and informed study of the best loved texts in Scripture. Rooted in the conviction that greater understanding of the Bible leads to deeper discipleship, it is an essential resource for preachers, teachers and study group leaders, as well as those who simply wish to get to know the Bible better.
