Parables Bible Study

The Parables of Jesus and Thier Lessons for Parents
On the surface it appears there aren’t many parenting Bible verses. This is until you look deeper into the many roles parents play and how those roles impact the varying aspects of the parent-child relationship.
For instance, parents are stewards of their children. So lesson 4, on the parable of the stewards, identifies key aspects of being a good biblical steward. And it should be noted, that stewardship is mentioned more often in regards to how we deal with other people than how we deal with money.
Lesson 5 explores the shepherding or guiding aspect of the parent child relationship. The parable of the good shepherd in John 10 explores the importance of trust in the shepherd – sheep relationship and it’s implications for obedience.
“I love how Christina uses Jesus’s own lessons to us to help us understand how to parent in a Christlike manner.
It’s easy to read and perfect for small group study. It leads parents gently to understand Who Jesus truly is and how to do their best to imitate Him in their parenting.” – Author and Parent Coach Stephanie G. Cox, MSEd
This Parables of Jesus Study Guide Works for Groups
“It is a lovely study on the parables’ value for bringing up children. The format makes them very practical and useful for group study. Her insights into the implications for nurturing children (and adults) are excellent and highly applicable.” –Rev. Dr. William Edgar, Professor of Apologetics at Westminster Theological Seminary
Bible Parables with Moral Lessons for Parents
Lessons from the parables on mercy, humility, and forgiveness encourage parents in specific ways to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Christ is God’s greatest expression of grace. His servant-hood leadership is modeled for you through the stories of the parables as well as the additional supporting scriptures that go with each parable.
There is no room for power plays or manipulation. No coercion or shame. Parenting in Christ means dying to self. And like all endeavors that require you to take up your cross, it is momentarily painful to our sinful selves, but beneficial to parents and children.
This Bible study also offers a great deal of grace of parents. Many moms have expressed how encouraged they felt going through it. They felt empowered and not bogged down by rules. This parables bible study is shame free!
