While everyone enjoys hearing something new, and in general I try not to recycle stories that have already been publicized, that is not entirely the correct perspective.  During farbrengens, mashpi'im often retell the same story to emphasize the importance of the message. Certain concepts have to become part and parcel of our mindset and mashpiim repeat a thought in order that it be ingrained in our DNA.
