This Is What I Wanted To Preach Yesterday – Judah Smith Does It 100 Times BETTER!
I made a point about Barabbas at our Good Friday service, it was okay – but this is ANOINTED. Unfortunately whoever’s doing the transcript mishears him a couple of times, it’s even better than the words!
Ready – Aim – Preach!
Imagine walking through the woods and suddenly you hear the crack of a rifle, you hit the deck as branches snap around you. What the heck?!
Blah Blah Blah Preaching
You get no credit for looking in the mirror and knowing you’re a mess. What will you DO? You can memorise 12 great principles of successful marriage and still be instant messaging behind her back to that young girl in the office. It’s the same with money, parenting, or business.

Make This Sunday’s Message RESONATE!
I’ve been a Nancy Duarte fan for years, highly recomending her books as a great investment to anyone who communicates (that’s you) and especially preachers. How fantastic to discover that one of the world’s leading authorities on getting your message across in a way people will hear it is also a Christian and passionate about THE Message that changes lives forever and the world for good. Invest 20 minutes on this video, and take notes! (I have the structure line on my office wall now together with some other prompts to help as I pull messages together).
