Throughout this unit, you are invited to explore four parables that Jesus shared. A parable is a story told by Jesus in the Gospels that is used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson. Jesus told many parables and people have been trying to understand their deeper context for centuries. The four parables covered in this curriculum are: The Parable of the Mustard Seed; The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree; The Parable of the Ten Talents; and the Parable of the Pearl.

We encourage you to put together a lesson that works best with your group's needs (ages, energy levels, one room/multi room, etc.) Reach out if you have any questions or need any guidance.
