Stories help us to understand the world and ourselves. The Do Not Depart team shares New Testament stories that have impacted the stories of their own lives.
Have you ever read a story or watched a movie and felt that something deeply important had been revealed to you about yourself? Perhaps Frodo in The Lord of the Rings inspired you to persist against all odds in doing something that was difficult, but right. Or you recognized something about yourself in Martha or Mary.

The New Testament is filled with stories – stories of events that happened during and after Jesus’ life, as well as those special stories He told that we call parables.

“The divine Wisdom has been justified in respect to this mode of teaching. The parables have struck deep into the thought and language of men (not of Christians only), as no other teaching could have done.” – A. Carr

We all love a good story! Scientific studies have shown that our brains are wired for, and react positively to, well-crafted stories. God created us this way, and He filled His Word with stories to engage our hearts and minds.

A few months ago, our team of writers spent time sharing Old Testament stories that we love and that have had an impact on the stories of our own lives. This month we shift our focus to the New Testament, and its many beloved stories and parables.

What about you? What stories have shaped your life?

Join us this month as we share beloved New Testament stories that have shaped us. #BelovedStoriesNT
