Paul, The Faithful Preacher
October 14, 2008I’ve been blessed this lunchtime to listen to a sermon about Paul’s example as a faithful teacher (an exposition of Acts 20:13-48).
Some marks of Paul’s faithful teaching?
• he was humble and passionate
• he was courageous and selfless
• his proclamation was both public and personal
• his proclamation was both gospel-centred and comprehensive
Listen to the whole of James Anderson’s sermon here.
[...] And Colin Adams reflects on the marks of Paul’s preaching. [...]
To the regular visitors at this site, could I encourage you to listen to this sermon. In particular, to any elder, or prospective elder, the challenge will be stark and direct.
“Evangelize or Fosselize!”
Gotta love it.
But the whole was much appreciated.

One of my favorite parts was the illustration James used to describe Christians who were trying to live freelance; without any church integration.
He said such a Christian was like a soldier in the army who prefers to walk alongside the armored vehicle, rather than take cover in it. Such a soldier/Christian is enormously vulnerable.
…Why can’t I come up with illustrations like that??
