A message from the series “Toolbox for Evangelism.” Nearly 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.

CloseAs Christians, we pray for a lot of things. Forgiveness. Help. Giving Thanks. But one thing we probably don't pray for very much (at least, specifically) is for more wisdom. And yet over and over again in Scripture, we see the admonition to pray for more wisdom. Get wisdom. Seek it. Pursue it. Why do we not pray for wisdom as much as we should? Especially when it has the ability to help us in so many ways?
