The Parables of Lost Things (The Bible in Its Context - Part 11)

In this episode, we take a fresh look at the three parables recorded in Luke 15: the parable of the lost sheep, the parable of the lost coin, and the parable of the lost son. Taking into account the purpose and form of story parables along with the cultural context within which they were told allows us to see the point Jesus was driving home and the expected response from his declaration. Join us as we step into the audience of scribes and Pharisees to hear how this message would have impacted them and how they challenge us to this day.
