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.

CloseGod's people are often accused of being too exclusive, trying to keep people out of the Kingdom instead of welcoming them with open arms. On at least one occasion though, three would-be disciples didn't follow Jesus for their own reasons, proving that while the Kingdom is for all, not all will come.
