Much of Jesus’ teaching and preaching was centered around simple, little stories He told. These stories, called parables, gave the listeners something to visualize and connect with. Jesus was teaching revelational truths about God’s kingdom, but in a way that even a child could comprehend.

Do you deal with anger, jealousy, envy, pride, and not feeling “good enough?” When you experience hurt, do you build a wall around your heart? Have you ever felt that the emotions you experience keep you from knowing God more intimately? A lot of believers, even though they are saved by grace, still walk in pride rather than God’s grace.
