Episode notes
Methods Matter As Much As Message
- Pastor Eric Crawford argues that methods matter just as much as the message in church worship and ministry.
- He contrasts enticing words/mans' wisdom with the Spirit and power of God as the proper methodology for preaching.
Growing Up In A Fruitful Church
- Pastor Eric Crawford recalled growing up at Bible Baptist Church in Bowie, Texas, which produced many preachers and spiritual fruit over decades.
- He describes that season as an unrecognized revival whose long-term fruit became evident later.
Avoid Building On Entertainment
- Do not build your church primarily around music or entertainment because how you get people is how you must keep them.
- Focus on preaching and the Holy Spirit so attendance isn't sustained by shifting cultural attractions.
