After teaching a parable, Jesus often said, "Whoever has ears, let him hear." In other words, "This is important, so you better listen up," and what could be more important than the good news of the kingdom of God?
Listen Up: 10-Minute Family Devotions on the Parables gives parents a practical way to help their children listen to and understand the gospel as Jesus shared it through his parables. Jesus used simple stories based on everyday activities and familiar objects to communicate surprising spiritual truths about life in his kingdom.
This thirteen-week family devotional helps children and adults explore the parables of Jesus through Bible readings, discussion questions, activities, songs, and memorable "fun facts." The short, ten-minute format is designed to make family worship manageable for busy households while helping children engage with Scripture and remember key gospel truths.
Each week contains five devotional sessions. Each session includes a Bible reading, discussion questions, a fun activity, and songs. The devotional material is structured around sections such as "Listen Up," "Think About It," "Talk About It," and "Pray About It." The first devotion of each week also includes preparation sections identified as "Get Ready" and "Get Set." The book includes the Scripture passages used for each devotional so families can read and discuss the biblical text directly within the book.
