In this second week of our Parables series, we dove into the story of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10. We learned that in parables we’re supposed to see ourselves in the story and through that then see the heart of God. Sometimes religion gets to a space where it protects its own sense of righteousness rather than loving people. Understanding parables can bring us back to what really matters to God and what should matter to each of us.

Is the story you’re telling with your life bigger than just you? We began our Parables series looking at Luke 12:16 - 21 and how it captures the idea that we should be less self-focused and more outwardly focused. We can connect to the larger picture if we change our mindset and begin from a place of gratefulness. We were challenged to think about what we invest in as a community and how we can further connect to the bigger story God is writing with us and through us, leading to a deeper, more meaningful life with Jesus.

How do we build an honest faith into an honest life? We go to church, have faith, read the Bible, and try to make good choices that align with all of it - yet, bad things still happen. We are human. Bad things will still happen. The truth is honest faith in God won’t keep bad things from happening, but it means we will not suffer alone. You can ask yourself three questions: 1. Is there room for pain, hardship, and struggle in my faith in Jesus? 2. What does it change when I do struggle if I know that Jesus is with me? 3. What comfort do I draw from knowing that my God has suffered, struggled, and knows pain the way I do? If we wrestle with those questions now, there will be an anchor in the difficult moments life brings.
