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.

CloseI've heard a lot of people in my life talk about how "the church is dying" and "nobody cares about the Gospel anymore." I get why they say it. After all, anecdotal evidence and cold hard data show that people are attending services less than they used to. But as a Christian, I can't afford to have that mentality. I have to believe that people can and will care about God if we talk to them about Him. If not, why even waste our time with evangelism?
