Anyone Can Tell a Bible Story
Contents:
A story is told.
Someone facilitates questions, and people get to dialogue about what it means. Depending on the group, one may create songs, charts, dances, henna designs, or paintings to help remember a story. Those who are suspicious or unfamiliar with the Bible are more open to hearing a story than studying verses. They used stories and parables to relate the Kingdom of God both to common and well-educated people.
How does one story? This kind of storying is most effective for general evangelism and can be presented to a person with little commitment on their end. Narrow storying breaks down the Bible and focuses on one specific story at a time.

This kind of storying is most effective for discipleship or regular study a person has agreed to do. Chronological Bible Storying is a good example of this style. General narrow story session: Tell the story Ask about the story, detail-by-detail. What do you like about the story?

This doesn't have to be mushy love, just see people as God would see them. I'm sure you'll run into somebody you don't think deserves your love or you just don't want to love at all, but God loves them and if we love God we are supposed to love them too. Who exactly are we supposed to love?
What are some ways that we can love God? It's not as hard as you think. How do you show others you love them? We talk to them, try to get to know them better, listen to them, and sometimes we do things for them. We can do all these things for God. We might not be able to touch Him but we can pray to God, read the Bible and learn about him, obey Him and do the things he asks us to do.

We are also supposed to love ourselves. This doesn't mean that we should think we're better than everybody else. We get this from a Bible verse that says do for others as you would want them to do for you. This means we should take care of ourselves. Remember that if you're a Christian the Spirit of God lives inside us and he wants us to treat ourselves with respect.
Loving our family is hopefully pretty easy.

Even though we get mad at our parents sometimes because they don't let us do something, we still love them. What happened to the people in the story before and then what happened after salvation came to the situation? Help your listener identify with the person who is struggling. What are his fears or idols? When the gospel is revealed in the story, how does the situation change? I like to keep the application fairly short.
Do not read your story off your paper. Tell it from memory. Note any names, or words that are difficult to remember. If a word is hard to pronounce, take time to learn it. Note any lists of things or direct quotes.
Gather a group of intercessors to pray with you just prior to telling your story. I ask God to bind any evil influence that could distract the listeners. Ask God to open eyes, and ears and to allow the truth of God to penetrate hard hearts.

Many people start their story before their audience has focused on them. If you need to, repeat your opening to make sure everyone has heard it.
