Mark 2:2
And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them.
When Jesus had an audience, he preached. Preachers today should not waste their opportunities with cute stories, but should instead preach what Jesus did, "The Word."
