. . . where the truth they need
meets the world they know. . .
Are sermon illustrations really important?
Only if you want to teach like Jesus. . .
Welcome to GospelFrames, a premium resource for Christian communicators. We serve preachers, teachers, and authors who know that their ministry is only as impactful as the message they share. And there is no message greater than that given in Scripture. Christian communicators who understand this want to do it right, they want to do it well, they want to do it like Jesus.
When Jesus taught his Father’s word, he ALWAYS used illustrations (Mark 4:34). These stories were fresh and relevant, drawn from everyday life, everyday business, and the news. He used the world they knew to illuminate the truth they didn’t. Jesus knew that his Father’s creation declared his glory. All of it! This includes contemporary art, current events, and pop culture.
But finding a “good” illustration might be the most challenging part of what we do.
- Do you ever use old, tired illustrations from decades ago?
- Do you spend hours reading commentaries and listening to sermons searching for fresh ideas to illustrate a biblical truth?
- Do you spend countless hours looking for ways to engage your culture with fresh material, when you would rather be diving deeper into a biblical text?
GospelFrames is the solution you’ve been looking for! Each Monday you can receive a Sermon Resource Brief containing 6 powerfully relevant sermon illustrations (5 based on recent events plus 1 crafted sermon illustration from the greatest stories ever told, the Bible itself). It’s in the headlines one week, and in your sermon the next! That’s 30+ pages of hot-off-the-press content each month for less than a Netflix subscription!
You want to engage your listeners with the eternal truth of Scripture; we want to help. Try it risk-free!

Designed for Your
Busy Schedule
Each Brief is beautifully arranged, streamlined, and easy to use. . .
1. Table of Contents with an illustration snapshot including the key quote from the article, a summary of the article contents, and key themes where the illustration can be applied.
2. Articles are five hundred words or less, easy-to-read, written in the most concise style possible, and ready to be crafted for your preaching, teaching, and writing ministry.
3. Category Logo indicating the area of everyday life where the story occurred. So, for example, when you see the “Sports” logo, you know you have a timely illustration for your next FCA devotional!
4. Key Quote from the article that summarizes the illustration’s “hook,” providing a quick glimpse of the articles potential.
5. Key Themes where the article might be applied to biblical truth.
6. Scripture Passages offer a suggestion of cross-references where the illustration could be used. You could literally grab a single sheet from your most recent brief and jump straight into a powerfully relevant devotional study!
7. Source for easy citation in professional writing and for expanded research.
Crafted for Their
Busy Lives
Each article is drawn from a contemporary happening, making your sermons relevant, relatable, and remembered.
GospelFrames will add impact to your preaching ministry, long after the sermon, by helping you deliver messages that are. . .
1. Remembered :: There’s no doubt, illustrations grab the attention of our listeners. Like it or not, these stories are often the only thing our audience remembers, so we better make them good, connecting them tightly to God’s Word. Plus, the right illustrations can also act as reminders long after the sermon is preached. Jesus’s listeners likely never looked at their world the same. Fig trees, farmers, Roman coins, and even the rubble where the tower at Siloam had fallen all became reminders of his timeless words (Matthew 21:18-22; Mark 4:1-20; 12:13-17; Luke 13:1-5).
2. Relatable :: GospelFrames will help you connect to your audience at a personal level. Our listeners want to know that we understand their world and can relate to the community we hope to reach. By appealing to the current events and culture around us, we follow the ancient Christian tradition of “becoming all things to all people so that we might save some” (1 Corinthians 9:19-23).
3. Relevant :: Of course, the Bible is inherently relevant. Our job is to help our listeners understand how. GospelFrames will help you as you show listeners how this ancient text applies to their modern struggles. Your listeners are bombarded daily with noise from pop-culture, news, and media. GospelFrames can help you train your church to interpret their world in light of biblical truth.
