One third of Jesus's teachings are parables. Parables are metaphorical stories that point beyond themselves. They're not neat, tidy, simple stories. They provoke, challenge, stir up questions, confuse, and create spiritual vertigo within us. And that's the point. Parables are intentionally designed to disorient us and throw us off balance in hopes that we stumble into a new way of seeing the world, God, and ourselves, Choose to see these parables in a new light. Dance with them - interpret, challenge, questions, poke, prove, and allow them to disrupt your pattern and alter your path.

The inaugural story of the bible is about LIBERATION. In this story, God doesn't just hear the cry of the oppressed - He does something about it. But that's not the end, actually; it's just the beginning. God doesn't just want to save us FROM something; He wants to save us FOR something. In this series, we will walk through the biblical narrative of the Israelites from Egypt to Sinai to Jerusalem to Babylon to Jesus. Individual Liberation, systematic Liberation, and ultimately cosmic Liberation is closer than we think. We can be free at last!
