Sharing the Gospel

In the Bible, there are several different ways to tell people about God. David wrote and sang songs. Jesus used parable to teach people about his kingdom. These were short stories about things that the people were familiar with in order to illustrate his message. Here are four modern examples of using different ways to share the good news.
