What do ancient parables have to do with modern living? "The Parables of Jesus - A New Perspective" approaches these timeless stories from three different perspectives. First, in the Known Truth section, each parable is considered from the viewpoint of the original audience. Second, the Spiritual Instruction section shows how the parable related to the growing faith of the disciples. The third section, Kingdom Action, shows how the parables taught leadership principles to the disciples who would soon be earthy ministers for the Kingdom of God. The 14 studies in this guide will challenge and encourage you to align your daily life with the teachings of Jesus to His disciples. You will gain new insight into your life today, and your life in eternity.Second Edition.

Love and hate, joy and sorrow, betrayal and denial, peace and persecution. These are just a few of the topics Jesus discussed with His disciples during the Last Supper. John carefully recorded the concerns, questions, and answers as Jesus and the disciples spoke together just hours before He was arrested and crucified.As we study John 13-17 we are able to follow along as Jesus prepares the disciples for a great time of turmoil and trial. While preparing them for the time ahead Jesus gave the disciples instructions, warnings, and promises. These valuable lessons provided the disciples with the foundation they needed for serving and leading after Jesus was crucified, and after His ascension.From these same instructions, warnings, and promises we are able to establish a foundation for our relationship with God, and with other followers of Christ. The keys to abiding, bearing fruit, answered prayer, and peace-filled living are found in these teachings from that memorable night. The Last Supper - A New Beginning is an interactive study guide with 10 lessons taken from John 13-17. The guide is suitable for either group or individual study.
