Cedar Ridge Community Church is a diverse, open, and affirming community of followers of Jesus, sharing God’s love with everyone and working to make the world a better place for all. We invite you to join us on our journey of growing to be more loving people who recognize that change must begin with…
Jesus was a captivating teacher, and many of his most memorable teachings were conveyed as parables. These short, metaphorical stories were so artistic, vivid and compelling, they could be remembered after just one telling. But despite their apparent simplicity, Jesus' parables contain paradoxes, surprises, and cryptic elements that demand deeper reflection and contemplation. Jesus explained they were intended “for those who had ears to hear.” We will therefore attempt to approach these stories with open hearts, laying aside our assumptions about what they mean, and inviting God to use their ambiguity to speak to us anew.
