36 Parables… short films for your [youth group] [bible study] [family] [church] [small group]
Great free and accessible resource for you to use for your ministries. I have come across a similar concept Modern Parables and bought the DVD from Koorong. Modern Parables is an expensive resource (1 parable = $24.95 – I think I paid more like $39.95 when I purchased it) and has too much teaching embedded in the film. It would be great if they had just the retelling of the parable that allows your small group to discuss and interpret with our bibles open.
36 Parables is great creative initiative trying to make the gospel more accessible and relevant to our media saturated generation. This resource is in some ways a product I see rectifying “internal churning”... it would be great to perhaps link to videos like these on our church websites and also make sure that organisations like 36 parables have good search keywords tied to its website title and content. They even come with a free downloadable study guide.
Yet again, my challenge still stands to web/film/theologians/evangelists gurus: Jesus is worthy of a good website to explain who he is and the life he has on offer to all. If you have the technical know-how, I’d be happy to consider putting a team together to develop the content…
Let’s be like Jesus go hang where the sinners are: in our generation its on on the web!
Koorong is having a sale on some of the Parable DVDs ($10) at the moment…
I’ll offer tech-head web-skills out there. But getting ace graphical/artistic/video peeps is the crucial bit I reckon.
Sam C – thank you.. I have some graphic/art/video peeps in the works… so will let you know how we go.
thanks again for responding and offering.
