This week at FUSION Gathering, we talked about parables! Jesus often used these everyday ordinary stories to explain a greater heavenly understanding. Sometimes lofty theological thoughts only make sense when we look at them from our earthly standpoint. Have you ever used a story to explain something to someone else? I bet you have, maybe without even realizing it. Jesus knew he could connect with the people by talking about things like fishing and farming because those were topics they were very familiar with. Maybe parables today would include things like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram! Regardless, Jesus' parables still have a lot to teach us today about how God calls us to live as disciples of Jesus Christ.
We took some time reading several parables from the Bible and then chose two to act out! Check out the youth re-enacting the Parable of the Prodigal Son and the Parable of the Good Samaritan. What's your favorite parable?
See you next Sunday!! Don't forget that the youth will be helping serve lunch after church this Sunday for the Operation Christmas Child lunch fundraiser.
