Alan Fadling and Gem Fadling311: The Scandal of the Kingdom
October 7, 2024 ● 13 minShare this episode
The parables are perhaps the most potent expression of the message of Jesus. Parables were one of his key teaching strategies. But even his inner circle struggled to understand what he was saying.
Today, I’ll be sharing a review of a new book from Dallas Willard on the parables titled The Scandal of the Kingdom.
Through insightful analysis and practical wisdom, Willard empowers readers to transform their lives and communities by embodying the radical love, compassion, and justice exemplified in Jesus's parables. This book is a beacon of hope for Christians seeking to deepen their faith and live more authentically in accordance with the teachings of Christ. Willard empowers us to:
- Become more passionate about living the gospel in the full scope of Jesus's vision for us
- Better share the faith of Jesus with those disillusioned with Christianity
- Unlock the excitement of living in the upside-down kingdom of God
- Share the gospel of Jesus in the way he did

A Prayer for Unity in the Church This Christmas - Your Daily Prayer - December 22
It’s easy to take offense when someone hurts you, or you’re frustrated with where you are in life, and it seems as though everyone around you is thriving. But, when we take an honest look at ourselves and see how God loves us (1 Corinthians 13), we realize we have no right to hold any grudges against our brothers and sisters.
