Today we're beginning a new series, "A Summer of Parables."  We're going to focus on those amazing parables that Jesus told and the most important thing to realize is that we must sit within in the parables to understand them and that the parables can't be understood apart from Jesus, the greatest living parable of all.  Today, these parables speak about the unique person of Jesus and invite us to respond to Him.  What response will you give Him?
