Legendary Saints Stories:
These look at the legends and the real people behind them, and include a number of links for further study. Eventually I hope to add similar pages on other "legendary saints" such as Stephen, George, Christopher, Francis, Augustine, Athenasius, Dominic and Bernard of Clairvaux, and Patrick. For more on researching Saints' Stories, see my Christian Storytelling Resources page

BIBLE STORIES
HOMILIES - A "homily" is what I call my blend of storytelling and preaching - these stories have elements of both.

These stories were prepared for my Summer Vacation Bible School curricula, of which I have four complete VBS programs with five lessons each on this website. Each includes a Bible study guide for preparation.

Sermons in Note form
In my Worship Reflections, I have sermon notes along with pages relating to designing worship services. Some of these use storytelling techniques as a part of the preaching: Here are two - see Reflections for more.
