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.

CloseVashti is usually overlooked in the story of Esther, but she deserves to take center stage...for doing exactly the opposite. She refused to be a sideshow attraction for her drunk husband and his buddies, and her example can teach us a lot about what it means to be truly modest.
