The Scandal of the Kingdom Workbook - Dallas Willard

What does it mean to live in the kingdom of God in our day-to-day lives?A runaway son. A woman's frantic search for a coin. A farmer paying hired help. Jesus relied on ordinary situations like these to communicate extraordinary truths about following after him.Of course . . . not everyone who heard Jesus' parables understood what they meant. Even the disciples at times had to ask Jesus to explain the point of a story that he had just told. Jesus was always willing to explain the meaning to them and any others who sought to understand the mysteries of God's kingdom. He does the same for like-minded seekers today.The Scandal of the Kingdom Workbook, based on the teachings of the late beloved author Dallas Willard, will aid you in this kind of exploration of many of the parables that Jesus told. Each lesson will help you understand the heart behind a parable, how Jesus used it to communicate the realities of God and life in his kingdom, and how it is still revolutionary—even "scandalous"—in showing you the way in which God invites you to lead your life.This workbook is designed for use with The Scandal of the Kingdom by Dallas Willard. Each of the fifteen lessons in this workbook include these sections:Hearing What Jesus Said: The truths that Jesus was revealingThinking About What Jesus Said: How those truths apply to youResponding to What Jesus Said: What actions to take
