Stories Jesus Told

Six weeks with the parables of Jesus

The heart of the resource

What this series helps you lead

Jesus taught with stories that were short, surprising, and hard to forget. This series lets students hear and embody six of them through scripted Act It Out moments and optional improv-based games.

Students explore soil, neighboring, being found, forgiveness, what really matters, and using what God gives. A weekly Story Card turns each parable into a personal response.
