Before Worship Bible Study

The parables are short stories Jesus used to teach His followers about living in His kingdom. There are 38 of them recorded in the Gospels. Each of them makes at least one important point that is as useful today as it was to his followers 2,000 years ago. Some of them, like the parable of the Good Samaritan, are very well known while others are more obscure. If you are somewhat new to the scriptures, studying the parables is a great way to learn about Jesus and what He taught and how you can apply His lessons to your life today. If you are well versed in the scriptures, you can always learn more from the parables as you read them in a new context.
