JesusTheStoryTeller@Luke.edu: Jesus A Friend of Sinners

How does Jesus respond to a potentially embarrassing situation, when a woman with a sordid past, seeks to honor Him in an unconventional way during a meal at a religious leader’s home? Does Jesus’ unexpected answer to those attending the meal delight you or unsettle you?

From Series: "JesusTheStoryteller@Luke.edu"

About 1/3 of Jesus’ teaching was in the form of parables. Whether we are young or old, we love the stories which are told by Jesus, because they are so engaging. We will be exploring together parables which are unique to Luke’s Gospel of Jesus Christ. We will be covering topics including the wonder of Jesus’ saving grace, the problem of self-righteousness, the pursuit of God above everything else, a passion to love the lost, the centrality of prayer, stewardship of our possessions, and the importance of focusing on the coming of Christ. May God’s Spirit use God’s Word to make us more like God’s Son.
