Parables of Jesus: Stories of God’s Kingdom

PARABLES OF JESUS • STORIES OF GOD’S KINGDOM

Everyone loves a good story! Jesus used stories to capture people’s imagination. He used everyday situations they were familiar with to teach them about heavenly things they weren’t familiar with. His short, simple stories illustrated bigger, complex truths meant to change us from the inside out. This season, players will gather around to hear basketball parables. These stories are based on the parables of Jesus, but use basketball to explain what Jesus meant. Our prayer is that players will have an understanding heart to learn about God’s truth, his character, and his heavenly kingdom. We pray players will develop a kingdom perspective that shapes how they view themselves and others.

“I will open my mouth and tell stories. I will speak about things that were hidden since the world was made.” Matthew 13:35 & Psalm 78:2
