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.

CloseWhat is the point of a book like Hebrews? Supremacy of the New Law? Supremacy of Christ? Not going back to OT rituals? How about all of the above? When you zoom out and look at Hebrews, one of the things you notice is that the writer is really concerned about these people not casually drifting away from God. That's a real worry then, and it's a real worry now. The book of Hebrews talks about how to push towards the Cross, instead of sinking back to what's comfortable.
