Bee Parables is educational and edifying. Become fascinated by the
honey bee world and see the parallels to the Christian community.
Building upon the concepts in 1 Corinthians 12, believers are
encouraged to have an active and healthy role within a Christian
community. Bee Parables does this by first explaining interesting
facts about honey bees and then encourages a similar response among
believers. Individual bees, each dutifully performing their
designated tasks, contribute to the well being of the entire
colony. Likewise, Christians are reminded to faithfully use their
God given abilities to make a contribution towards the overall
growth and well being of their fellow believers. The bees need each
other for survival. Christians are challenged to consider their
individual roles within their churches with equal seriousness.
