Unpacks unique insights from Jesus' parables that can help us
understand and experience the full, transformative life in
community we are divinely intended to live. Christ never actually
told us how to "do church." Yes, he had a lot to say about the
church, but what he did say was mostly unrelated to stylistic
issues or contextual trends. He never spoke about its leadership
hierarchies or the pros and cons of denominational fellowships or
the types of music. And yet, much of our time and energy as leaders
and shepherds is consumed by chasing after tips, tricks, and
secrets to "grow" churches. While we've tended to focus on church
growth through strategies, programs, and metric-based insights,
Christ always focused on the heart and the values of the Father,
the values that actually change lives and increase the spiritual
health of his people. By digging deeply into three important
parables: The Parable of the Two Sons The Parable of the Sower The
Parable of the Talents Parable Church weaves together personal
narratives, unique cultural observations, and compellingly fresh
biblical insights to paint a picture of something unimaginably
greater than what most people think of when they think of Jesus'
Church. Although Jesus never gave us directions for church, he did,
through his parables, reveal what we should experience in our
communities together--he revealed the culture of his kingdom.
