Episode notes
Age Doesn’t Invalidate Preaching
- Preaching's age doesn't determine its value; relevance depends on the speaker and message.
- Faithful preaching must adapt to culture while staying true to God's revealed word.
Preaching Fits God’s Revealing Nature
- God is a self-revealing God who uses words and people to reveal himself.
- That makes preaching a meaningful part of God's plan for revelation.
Biblical Roots Of Public Proclamation
- Tom traces preaching back through the Bible, citing Noah, Moses, and prophets as early preachers.
- He uses Jonah as an example of reluctant preaching that still brought big results.
