A Guide for Personal or Group Spiritual Growth
This message series is based on parables in the New Testament. Words and phrases are based on language from the New International Version (NIV). Use the questions below by yourself or with friends as you seek to know God. To find a group, visit <b>brookwoodchurch.org/groups.</b>
https://www.brookwoodchurch.org/groupsRead Luke 12:13-21
<b><i>Insight</i></b>: Someone in the crowd challenged Jesus to make a decision on a point of Jewish law. Jesus did not engage the man. Instead, He turned to the disciples and gave them one more thing to add to the list of what to fear: <i>greed</i>.
https://www.bible.com/bible/111/LUK.12.13-21.nivRead Luke 12:22-34
<b><i>Insight</i></b>: The parable of the rich man flows right into the following passage, where Jesus tells His disciples not to worry. It presses into our fears and doubts about God’s desire to care for us.

A parable is literally something cast or thrown alongside something else. It’s a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson. A parable often compares two (usually seemingly unrelated) things and is commonly understood as an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.
Jesus spoke in parables…
Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. Matthew 13:11,13 (NIV)
Consider the context. Who was Jesus talking to in the story? What events happened before He told the parable? Are there introductory words that set up the story?
