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.

CloseIn the Old Testament, the year of Jubilee was a time of release -- a release from all debts, uninherited land claims, and indentured servitude. And even though the year of Jubilee is not binding in New Testament times, there are still principles we can apply in 2021, such as the need to take rest, refocus, and gain much needed faith.
