PARABLE MORPHING

What are some normal, everyday activities in your life? What might these say about who God is, how he works or what he values? Construct a parable on one of these activities.

We started the process of parable morphing on November 11. Here’s some of our parables—very preliminary!

The Kingdom of Heaven is like going to work…
The Kingdom of Heaven is like lying in bed half asleep in the morning…
The Kingdom of Heaven is like taking the bus…
The Kingdom of Heaven is like pouring milk on a bowl of Kap’n Crunch…
The Kingdom of Heaven is like playing an electronic solitaire game…

Start your own parable, and then come morph with us on Tuesday nights at 8 pm, on the TFB campus.
Join us for Tuesday Big Rocks (8:00 at TFB) if you’d like to morph some stories.
