Don't you just love it when people "get" your message? The little lightbulb goes off in their heads.. You can see it in their eyes.. the big "Ah hah!" Moment! So precious and few are the moments when a person gets it and THAT is the moment we live for.

A solid preaching illustration is key to highlighting spiritual truths, explaining situations and bringing experiences that are thousands of years old to modern people.

Unlock the Power of Understanding

Truly understanding the bible is key, it's a powerful force in a person's walk with Christ. True understanding isn't just knowledge. Things you store up in your head to retrieve at a later point in time. It becomes much more... No, well preached and spoken illustrations form pictures in your mind. They can cause you to experience things.

They can cause you to feel a cup touch your lips, taste the red wine as it touches your tounge, smell the over-powering scent as it wafts into your nostrils, and experience the warmth as it runs down your throat.

Examples of Biblical Illustration:

• Examples of ancient to modern currency
• Explaining the author's original intent (Such as Paul's letters to different churches)
• A background story on the original recipients of the message
• The historical setting of the text at the time
• The litterary context of the sentence, clauses and word statements.
• The application of the text to modern life
• The parallel passages that relate to the supporting one
• The religions of the time and how they relate
• The culture and how it affected those hearing the message

Getting a "buy-in" from your listener is critical to a powerful sermon. What's a buy-in? It's when someone doesn't just listen, or agree with what they are hearing, but they buy it themselves. They now OWN that story as their own. Supporting your illustrations can make the message become fact in the mind of the listener by using quotes...
