A message from the series “Pray Like This.” We ask for things in our prayers, but when was the last time we stopped to just say thank you? In Mary’s prayer from Luke 1, that’s *all* she did. We should do the same from time to time.

CloseNearly a third of Jesus' teachings consisted of stories, or parables. These seemingly innocent tales were not just given for entertainment though -- they were designed to penetrate the heart in a way a series of commands couldn't. They forced the listener to meditate on the teachings and make the change from the inside out. As such, they were exceedingly effective. Can we use parables today? Of course! Maybe not in the same way as Jesus, but using illustrations can still be effective if handled properly.
