Stories. We all remember the bed time stories we were told growing up. Stories such as The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks & The Three Bears, Humpty-Dumpty and the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Even though the stories were designed to let our imaginations run wild, imagining talking bears and carpenter pigs, they all had a point, a lesson to be learned. Jesus used stories called parables defined according to the dictionary as a short allegorical story designed to illustrate or teach some truth, religious principle, or moral lesson.

During the summer months at Great Oaks Community Church, Pastor Bill is going to unpack these parables and teach us how to apply them to our everyday lives.
