Why Parables?

Perhaps Jesus's favorite and most confounding teaching tool is the parable. He uses parables to help demonstrate the tangibility and reality of God's Kingdom on Earth. But despite their presumed accessibility, parables continue to be some of the most confusing and controversial aspects of his teachings. Why did Jesus choose such methods? What should we be looking for in his parables so many centuries later? In this episode, Warren and Rachel preview an upcoming sermon series by asking such questions and touching on the intense depth of what can sometimes seem like simple stories. They are found to be anything but simple.
