Jesus understood the power of stories and used them often in His teachings: the parables. He told stories that inform us about where we come from, offer insight into the successes and failures of our ancestors, and share how we are invited to participate in the Kingdom of God. Jesus reminds us that, throughout history, we have repeatedly sinned, acknowledged our wrongdoing, and turned back to Him. Long Story Short is a Life Night series that empowers teens to engage with Jesus’ parables and, through them, understand how they impact their relationship with God.
