Matthew 13:3a - Then He spoke many things to them in parables... "Parable" is from the Greek word parabole, meaning "a placing of one thing beside another." Parables are essentially extended metaphors in which commonplace things represent spiritual things.

What is a preaching story in the bible?

I suppose the most famous in the Bible is Jesus preaching on the mount in Matthew chs. 5, 6, & 7.And I suppose the most famous preaching story by a disciple of Jesus is Peter's preaching on the day of Pentecost when 3000 people were saved. This story you can read in Acts ch.2Another good preaching story in the Old Testament, is in Nehemiah 8, where the priest Ezra together with Nehemiah and the Levites, read from the book of the law and preached all day, with Ezra standing on a pulpit of wood.Hope you enjoy these stories.Additionally, the entire book of Acts is basically the history of the early Christian congregation, and early experiences with the preaching work assigned to Christ's followers(Matthew 28:19+20/Matthew 24:14). A notable preaching occasion is found at Acts 4:5-31 where Peter and John are told by the authorities to stop preaching. Their courage and faith are evident, however, as they refuse to be silenced, saying:"'Which is right in God's eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.'After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly." (Acts 4:19,20+31 NIV)

Is The doctrine of the virgin birth of Jesus so central to the traditional Christmas story was not part of the teaching of the first Christians?

If it's in the New Testament then it was part of the teaching of the early Christians since the New Testament authors were the early Christians. It is possible that the reference is to the absence of this from any recorded preaching or from any of Paul's doctrinal letters. A simple explanation exists for this. Such was not in dispute and so there was no need to discuss it. Many other accepted Christian doctrines were not discussed at times or only in passing as they were believed and so not needing to be elaborated on.
