Mark 4:30 He said, "How will we liken God's Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?"Jesus used over 30 parables to teach about the Kingdom of Heaven. The images and symbols were often colorful and memorable. Just as often, the disciples were puzzled by them and asked Jesus to explain. Rick Hoover takes a slow, thoughtful tour through the symbols and their themes. You'll find extra insights into the Kingdom of Heaven, and learn where it is like things that are familiar in every day life - and where it is quite different! I'm a retired deacon in the Episcopal Church. I served at a parish in central Florida. I've worked in radio, television and several jobs that included public relation efforts. As a Christian, I have discovered one of the things I enjoy most is spending time in a prayer closet with Jesus, learning to be still so He has space to speak.
