0:00.0	Everyone loves a good story and a good storyteller.
0:11.0	But there is no storyteller like the Lord Jesus,
0:14.0	and there are no greater stories told than the ones Jesus shared.
0:18.0	In this study, spiritual stories, we consider the parables Jesus told and their
0:23.9	application to us. These are truly the greatest stories ever told, and the Lord has something
