Young people in the church are a valuable asset to God’s Kingdom – both local and universal. So useful, in fact, that they are the heroes (and heroines) of several of the most famous Bible stories, standing up for God when those much older than them cowered in the corner. Are we using them as God used them? Are we inspired by them? Are we challenging them to grow?

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.
