Story Time - Introduction

Story Time

Jesus loves using stories.

In the Gospel of Luke he uses humour, irony, shock, surprise and sudden twists to invite people into the adventure that is following him, joining the Kingdom. He knew the deep, elemental power of stories, both to hook us in, and to work on a slow burn… 

This month we are going to rediscover the parables of Jesus, relayed to us in the gospel of Doctor Luke, and reflect on the power of stories to help us understand our faith. We will re-read the parables, re-appreciate them, re-imagine them and re-contextualise them to celebrate their timeless power to stir us, challenge us, and invigorate us. Each week of our Daily Worship will be bookended by readings from the Old Testament as we remember how the stories of Jesus fit into the unfolding story of God’s people.

Weekly overview:

  • The power of a story
  • A feast of stories
  • Sensational headlines from a family saga
  • Tuning into home

These discussion questions adapt our monthly themes for small Connect Groups or personal Bible study. The questions are divided into 4 parts to correspond with the 4 weeks of the Daily Worship theme. They are offered as a guideline and there is no need to go through all the given questions in a single session, or in the following sequence. Feel free to pick and choose, or adapt to what interests you or your group.
