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.

CloseOur spiritual family is one of the greatest blessings we have as Christians. It strengthens us, encourages us, corrects us, and supports us when times get tough. But we only get out of it what we put into it. If we join a church to see what they can give to us, we'll only find bitterness. If we join a church asking how we can contribute, we'll find blessings and more. Which one describes me? In this theme service, we looked at how Christians are first drawn from afar, how we're united by faith, and that hope drives us forward.
