Begins: March 12
When: Wednesdays, 6:30-8:00 p.m.
A runaway son. A woman’s frantic search for a coin. A farmer paying hired help. Jesus relied on ordinary situations like these to communicate extraordinary truths about following after him. Of course . . . not everyone who heard Jesus’ parables understood what they meant. Even the disciples at times had to ask Jesus to explain the point of a story that he had just told. Jesus was always willing to explain the meaning to them and any others who sought to understand the mysteries of God’s kingdom. He does the same for like-minded seekers today.
The Scandal of the Kingdom: A Sermon Series Study follows our Lenten sermon series and Dallas Willard’s book of the same name. This class will aid you in this kind of exploration of many of the parables that Jesus told. Each lesson will help you understand the heart behind a parable, how Jesus used it to communicate the realities of God and life in his kingdom, and how it is still revolutionary—even “scandalous”—in showing you the way in which God invites you to lead your life.
Facilitated by Chantelle Foster, this 6-week class begins on Wednesday, March 12 as a part of Acts 2 University.
