Your Sermon Illustration Library


Book Description

Many great preachers fail to make their sermons clear due to poor or lack of sermon illustrations. Sermon illustrations help listeners to grasp or comprehend the content. Imagine taking a visitor to a beautiful and well furnished room but without no illumination. They wouldn't appreciate everything because they wouldn't see much. Jesus Himself employed and drew lessons out of parables. These illustrated well the lessons He desired His listeners to glean. Preachers need to learn and master the art of sermon illustrations. This book is a tool that provides a preacher with more than two thousands sermon illustrations. However, use them with discernment and in the context of biblical doctrine. Do not be drawn away from the authority of God's word. Always remain true and faithful to the Scripture.
