When I step out into the world, what frames my reality? What is the lens through which I view the world?
Jesus’ answer to that question - the Kingdom of God. What is the Kingdom of God? How does it inform my view of the world? Luke 13:18-19 provides us the lens through which we can begin to look at the world around us.
From Series: "Parables: from the Book of Luke - Shawnee Campus"
Jesus’s teachings weren’t always straightforward. In fact, even as someone widely known as the greatest teacher and communicator the world has ever seen, Jesus often spoke in ways that purposefully confounded crowds and left some people walking away confused. Jesus spoke in riddles and stories, and in these teachings, there was always a twist. A reversal. In other words, something that makes us want to lean in desiring to know more, or to get up and walk away. Most of all, Jesus’ parables are a window... a window into the upside-down, paradoxical kingdom of God. Join us this summer as we explore Jesus’ brilliant stories and as we seek out His kingdom revealed to us in their midst.
