If there’s one thing I’ve learned in preaching and teaching through the years, it’s this: stories matter. They shape us. They reach places in the heart that facts alone can’t touch. Jesus understood this well — He painted pictures, told parables, and used everyday moments to reveal eternal truth. And when a story is placed alongside Scripture, something powerful happens. Hearts awaken. Truth settles in. People lean in and understand.
That’s why I’ve created a page dedicated to illustrations and stories — a place you can visit when you need something fresh, meaningful, and true. These aren’t filler lines or random anecdotes. They are carefully chosen moments that inspire, challenge, and breathe life into your preaching and teaching. They’re designed to help you connect Scripture to real-life moments in a way that reaches people right where they are.
Whether you’re preparing for Sunday, leading a group, or simply looking for personal encouragement, I hope you’ll find these stories helpful. My prayer is that they will strengthen your ministry, sharpen your communication, and help you bring God’s Word to life in the hearts of those you serve.
If you’re looking for strong, compelling illustrations for your next message — you’ll find them here: Illustrations and Stories.
I’ve placed this new page (filled with great stories and powerful illustrations), on the Resources page of this site. Be sure to bookmark it, and check back often. New content will be added each week.
