A message from the series “Pray Like This.” Jonah shouldn’t have needed to spend a few days in the belly of a fish before realizing his mistake, but sometimes, that’s what it takes.
Do we need to hit rock bottom sometimes in order to remember our dependency on God?

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.
