Good News and Good Lessons

This Wednesday we'll begin reading the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John.  We will focus on the lessons taught by Jesus through the Parables contained in these opening books of the New Testament.

The writing response to accompany our reading is to select four Parables (there are many), write a brief summary (the gist) and state the moral or point.  See the handout.

Finally, your challenge is to choose one of your four parables to share on a blog post.  Include:

• a short summary, 
• a powerful passage with your explanation as to why it's powerful 
• the point or lesson of the story 
• a picture
