The Danger of Dull
September 5, 2021 • Paul A. Berthiaume
It's easy to speed our way through God's teaching. Make things simple and lose the deeper meaning behind His words. That's why Jesus taught in parables.
In this week's sermon, we will be discussing how Jesus used the parables to get around people's certainty, unteachability and contempt that is born from familiarity. And how they reveal to us those times when we have fooled ourselves into thinking we hear and understand. But completely lose what God wishes for us to hear from His word.
The goal is for each of us, in humility to see with our eyes, hear with our ears, understand with our heart, and turn, so Jesus can heal every part of our lives and live in the blessed reality of our love relationship with Jesus.

Why did Jesus teach in parables? Was it to simplify and make things clear? Make us think harder on what he's teaching? Or was he just playing Mind Games?
In this sermon series, we will learn Jesus real purpose for teaching with parables and how he can use our humility and even our confusion to give us a deeper and wiser understanding of the gospel and what God wants to teach us.
God has a purpose for Mind Games, but the question is. Will you play?
