The Lord Jesus taught the deepest truths of the kingdom in stories drawn from everyday life — a sower, a lost son, a faithful steward, a final reckoning. This eleven-lesson study examines representative parables and the truths they reveal about hearing the word, loving our neighbor, the danger of riches, forgiveness, grace, readiness, and the coming judgment. Each week provides a student lesson, and a teacher’s guide is available for every lesson to aid Bible class teachers in preparation and discussion.

Teachers: Each lesson has a matching Teacher's Guide with discussion notes, suggested answers, and supplementary cross-references.
