How many times do we hear a Gods message and say oh that’s so good and then go home and forget what was preached. Not do the things we said was good. I know I have.

I find things take longer and are harder when you don’t listen.

Jesus talked in parables so that the people would understand what he was talking about. These were new concepts, at one time these were new concepts to you as well. Jesus would tell stories that were relevant to the people he was speaking to.
