Parables and the Story of God
Posted on
In Matthew 13 Jesus gives a sermon using parables, short stories with a moral to them. In verses 10-17, we see Jesus quote a passage from the book of Isaiah which effectively communicates to the audience that his use of parables is the most impactful way to help his audience hear and see the mysteries of the Kingdom. In this message, Noel goes on to share his own story and invites the listener into the story God is writing over their own lives and over the life of Exeter Valley Church.

In Matthew 13:54-58, we see that Jesus’ hometown was not all that receptive to him. So much so that he did not perform many miracles there. Noel Piepgrass shows us how their unbelief caused them to miss Jesus’s messiahship and how if we’re not careful, we too can miss the power of Jesus. (We had a technical glitch that prevented the original real-time recording so this recording was produced in the office afterward).
