A PARENT NEWSLETTER
The home is the center for biblical guidance. This newsletter
is for the parents so they can discuss with your teenagers the
biblical truths and principles discovered in Cross Training
and the Edge.
THE TRUTH IS IN THE PARABLES
Jesus was a storyteller. But unlike those who tell stories to
entertain, Jesus told parables – stories with a moral and
spiritual truth – to change the lives of His listeners. Today, we
know many of His parables, some by heart. But do we really
know these stories? Better yet, do we know the truths that
Jesus was trying get across to us? Throughout the month of
July and August, we are going to be examining the parables of
Jesus to find out the truths that He wanted to change our lives.
