Did you know that it's possible to listen to the Bible's teaching and be worse off because of it?
That you can be immune to the power of God's word?
That hearing the Bible can be dangerous for your soul?
Jesus believed this was true, and that has a lot to do with why He taught in parables.
In this episodes we begin a series of studies on the parables of Jesus by exploring Luke 8 and what Jesus expected his parables to do.
