A message from the series “Toolbox for Evangelism.” Have you ever felt completely unprepared to answer a Bible question when it was presented to you? Moreover, have you felt like that question was just a little too pointed for your liking?
Next time, try responding with a question. Jesus did it several times to great effect. We can too.

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.
