The rest of the list begun in part 1. Most of this is not new to any of us, but it’s always good to take stock and make sure bad habits have not crept in unawares!
Poke fun at no one but self – just because people may laugh at the joke, this does not justify ridiculing ethnic groups, dialects, political parties, gender, age, or specific individuals.
Share the spotlight – don’t be the hero of your illustration, and don’t be the focus too often either.
Demonstrate taste and respect sensibilities – generally avoid the four “b’s” – birthing, blood, bedrooms and bathrooms! And don’t use profanity.
Finish what you begin – don’t leave people hanging with a story. Unresolved story elements can become dominant in listener’s thoughts.
Biblical Preaching 
Finish what you begin – Peter, what do you think about “bookending” a story, that is, opening the message with a story that you then leave unresolved until the conclusion of the message? Do you think this is distracting from the message for the listeners, or does the lack of resolution help them keep listening through to the end?
Sure, it is possible to do this and it can be effective. Obviously you have to make sure you remember to finish it though! The one concern is whether the story will overshadow the bulk of the message. Tension is one of the toughest elements of preaching to get right. You need it to keep people listening, but you can’t afford to burn people out or lose their confidence. One time I started a story in the introduction, left it unfinished, then raised it again mid-way through, left that unfinished and then finished it in the conclusion. It fit well and supported the main idea of the sermon. I think it worked well, but it could easily have become a distraction. On that occasion having the middle installment helped because it assured people I had not forgotten to finish it, but maintained the tension because the story was yet to be resolved. But it is important to make sure the story supports and helps the sermon. If it overwhelms or is too insignificant to be noticed, then it wouldn’t work. I suspect it is only possible to have a sufficiently relevant and helpful story that can be woven effectively with the Bible text now and then. When you have a perfect fit between text and story, praise the Lord and preach it. But when you don’t, don’t try to force it!
Great ideas – thanks!
