"There is something unique about preaching. When you have a living person facing living people, hopefully a Spirit-filled preacher facing Spirit-filled people, there's a chemistry. There is something that doesn’t happen on television or other forms of communication.”– John Stott

“The kind of God we believe in determines the kind of sermons we preach. The essential secret is not mastering certain techniques but being mastered by certain convictions. In other words, theology is more important that methodology.”

"Being 'able to teach isn't primarily about eloquence. It’s about rightly handling the word of truth. If you're plagiarizing someone else’s exegesis, exposition, or illustrations, you’re eroding your credibility to do the work and qualification to hold the office."

Small group Bible study isn't a place where everyone guesses what a passage means.
God's Word has a meaning. It's not up for a vote.
A faithful leader studies the text, handles it rightly, and says with clarity: "This is what it means."

"Do not be too downcast if you happen to have a very bad service... There is a real danger of putting our faith in our sermon rather than in the Spirit. Our faith should not be in the sermon, it should be in the Holy Spirit Himself."

To all my brothers who will not receive any recognition for “Pastor Appreciation Month”. If you are serving in a difficult place among difficult people - you are among the most strategic leaders in the kingdom. Your reward is eternal and it’s certain. BTW you are a hero to me.
