Illustrations for Sermons
As Spurgeon so aptly said, illustrations are the windows to a sermon., They let the light shine in. Illustrations are essential tools in the hand of the Christian worker, to enable his message to be related to everyday life, bringing clarity. This enables the deep truths being shared by the worker, to be presented unforgettably with practical experiences and anecdotes that expand and illuminate. They are sourced from history, the news, personal experiences, traumatic events and nature. We have an extensive collection invaluable to the preacher, teacher and layman in Christian work and preparation.
