Have you noticed that the people who sit in your church may not remember your message yet never forget that great story you told?
Jesus was very aware that people respond to stories and illustrations. He held up a coin. He pointed to a fish. He was the master teacher! A little verse tucked away in Matthew 13:34 reveals his style …and he did not speak to them without a parable. If Jesus told stories to teach, so must we!
Great Stories is an alphabetical compilation available in print, USB thumb drive or via download which is filled with illustrations using current personal stories and illustrations from today’s headlines.
