Biblical Storytelling

So Important To Know 

And Retell The Stories Of The Bible

Scripture

Psalm 78

O my people, listen to my instructions.
    Open your ears to what I am saying,
²     for I will speak to you in a parable.
I will teach you hidden lessons from our past—
 
³     stories we have heard and known,
    stories our ancestors handed down to us.
 
⁴ We will not hide these truths from our children;
    we will tell the next generation
 
about the glorious deeds of the Lord,
    about his power and his mighty wonders.

Observation

Last week Kim in our small group told the story found in Luke 11:1-13 where Jesus’ disciples asked Him to teach them to pray. He gives them the “The Lord’s Prayer” or “The Model Prayer”. Then he tells them a story to show how important it is to persevere in prayer and not give up. 

She did a great job and everyone that heard her probably could retell the story! 

When someone tells a story from the Bible rather than reading it the story can have a huge impact on the listeners. 

Just think about it … Jesus told stories … lots of them! Many of them you might be able to retell right now! 

Don’t forget that the Bible is God’s Love Story to us!  

Application

I will continue to tell and retell the stories that God has placed in His word. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us some many wonderful and powerful stories that we can use with the people around us. Those stories are for our children and grandchildren but they are also for us adults too. Use Your Word to change lives this week as people meet together in small groups. Use Your Word this Sunday as Pastor Bruce preaches … use Your Word to transform lives!
