Preach Jesus to Suspicion
Amidst a culture marked by cynicism and suspicion, pastors and communicators are urged to keep their message firmly focused on Jesus. Just as the Apostle Paul resolved to know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified, the speaker highlights that people remain open and curious about Jesus despite their suspicions of pastors, churches, and institutions. A Barna study reveals that 82% of Generation Z wants to engage in conversations about Jesus, indicating their desire to explore whether this faith can bring about genuine transformation and human flourishing. By preaching Jesus to suspicion, pastors can address the prevailing cynicism and invite people into a meaningful encounter with the person of Jesus.
