About this episode
Our goal in this season of the podcast is to continue to get to know Jesus better, and we are doing that over these next few weeks by asking, “ What did He teach ?” So we are looking at a number of His parables. Parables are extended analogies that help us understand a truth. As one author says, they are “stories with intent.” Our progression has been this: We started by seeing the treasure that the Kingdom of God really is, then we considered what the heart of God really is like, we looked at how to be made right with God and come back under His rule and into His Kingdom, and then last week, we made a shift toward some parables about the ethic of the kingdom. How life works in the kingdom of God. And we saw that we are to build our lives on the words of Christ. That’s wise building. Today, we will be in Luke 11:1-13 , considering what Jesus taught about prayer.
