Episode notes
Power And Authority Of Scripture
- The Word of God is alive, sharp, and works whenever it meets a hungry heart.
- Preaching carries divine authority to pierce motives and change lives beyond the preacher's skill.
Preaching Cuts Both Ways
- Preaching is double-edged: it changes listeners and must change the preacher.
- The sermon should cut both outwardly to convict others and inwardly to shape the preacher's own life.
Humble Start: Eight Weeks Of Revivals
- Stan recalled his first post-graduation opportunity: eight weeks of revivals lined up by Ed Lucas.
- His pastor warned him, jokingly, against "spreading mediocrity" across the country.
