Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God - Romans 10:17


Jesus was the master storyteller. He often taught people in the form of parables.

Shouldn't we do the same?





Jesus always used stories and illustrations like these when he spoke to the crowds.

In fact, he never spoke to them without using parables. – Matthew 13:34



But how can they call on him to save them if they do not believe in him?

And how can they believe in him if they have never heard of him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? - Romans 10:14

Jesus was a master storyteller. His parables were earthly stories with heavenly meanings. Because everyone loves a good story, Jesus used parables to bring truth into the hearts of His followers, as well as to hide the truth from those who did not believe it (Matthew 13:10-16). Jesus used parables to teach about the kingdom of heaven, which is always in conflict with the kingdoms of this world. Are you ready to tell His story?
