Here are some\u00a0verses I have found personally challenging that inspire me to keep growing as a preacher.<\/p>\n
Scripture:<\/strong> Acts 9:22 says “Saul\u2019s preaching became more and more powerful…” Scripture:<\/strong> One time when\u00a0Paul finished preaching\u00a0in the synagogue at Antioch in Pisidia the people begged him to come and speak to them again the following week (see Acts 13:42). Scripture:<\/strong> Acts 13:44 says, “The following week almost the entire city turned out to hear them preach the word of the Lord.” Scripture:<\/strong> When people heard Paul’s message “…they were very<\/em> glad and thanked the Lord for his message…” (Acts 13:48) Scripture:<\/strong> After listening to Paul’s sermon “…all who were chosen for eternal life became believers” (Acts 13:48). Why were people begging to hear Paul preach? Why did his preaching draw out large crowds of people?\u00a0Why were people happy to listen to his sermons? Why did people thank God for his preaching? It’s because he worked hard to become a better preacher.<\/p>\n Helpful Resources\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are some\u00a0verses I have found personally challenging that inspire me to keep growing as a preacher.
