Mark 4:34 claims Jesus never said anything to the crowds without using parables.
Although Jesus is said to have explained the parables when he was alone with his disciples, he never explained them to the crowds. But in a way, when we preach on Jesus’ parables, we are explaining them. That has upsides and downsides. In this workshop we will recall the nature of parables and ponder best ways to preach them to let them retain their original mystery and revelatory power.
