Parables

THE RECTOR’S BIBLE STUDY

Mondays at 10 a.m.
Facebook Live with online discussion

The Rector's Bible Study resumes on Monday, August 3 with a series on Parables. 

Instead of speaking plainly, Jesus used parables to describe the reign of God and humanity’s place in it. Why? Some are practical, while others are strange. Most are memorable, but a few are obscure. In this series, we will explore both the meaning of Jesus’ parables and the purpose of his parabolic teaching.

The Rector's Bible Study meets Mondays at 10 a.m. online with livestream available on St. Paul's Facebook page.
