Parables
Featuring
Description
Stories can help us see what we might otherwise miss. The Bible’s parables challenge our assumptions, expose our blind spots and reveal God’s heart.
In this six-part series, we explore parables from the Old and New Testaments, from Nathan’s story of a stolen lamb to Jesus’ stories of hidden treasure, a lost coin and weeds among the wheat. We’ll consider what they meant to their first listeners and how they speak into our lives today.
Each message follows four steps: a picture to understand, a mirror to see ourselves, a window into God’s character, and a door inviting us to respond. Whether you’re exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, join us to hear these stories with fresh ears and consider how they call us to live.

Parables, Part 1: The Ewe Lamb // Geneva Nevell
October 04, 2026 - Geneva NevellWe kick off our Parables series by looking at how the prophet Nathan used a parable to confront King David with his own sin. This is the power of the parable - to shock, to get under our skin, and reveal what is hidden. In this Parables series, we'll look at parables and how they act as a picture, a mirror, a window, and a door.
