The biggest mistake preachers make (and how to avoid it)

The biggest mistake preachers make (and how to avoid it)

Every preacher loves to preach—but that’s not enough. One of the greatest dangers in ministry is falling more in love with the pulpit than with the study. Before God ever calls us to proclaim His Word, He calls us to know it. Faithful preaching is born out of faithful study. In this video, I share one piece of advice I wish every young preacher would take to heart: fall in love with studying the Bible more than you fall in love with preaching. As Paul told Timothy: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God…” (2 Timothy 2:15) Whether you’re a young pastor, a Bible teacher, or someone preparing for ministry, I pray this encourages you to pursue depth in God’s Word before seeking a platform.

Romans 7 Explained (What Is Paul REALLY Saying?)

Is Romans 7 describing the normal Christian life… or something else entirely? In this video, I take a deep dive into one of the most debated passages in the New Testament. Is Paul talking about a mature believer struggling with sin, or is he describing the unregenerate man under the Law? We’ll walk through Romans 7 in context, compare it with Romans 6 and Romans 8, and examine how “life in the Spirit” changes the entire picture. This is a verse-by-verse theological discussion dealing with sin, sanctification, the Law, and the power of the gospel. 📖 Topics Covered: * Romans 7 explained * The “I do what I hate” passage * The unregenerate man view * Romans 8 and life in the Spirit * Victory over sin * Paul and the Law * Sanctification and regeneration If you enjoy biblical theology, expository teaching, and deep Scripture study, consider subscribing. #Romans7 #BibleStudy #BiblicalTheology #Romans8 #ChristianYouTube #PaulTheApostle #Theology #ExpositoryPreaching #HolySpirit #BibleTeaching

The Necessity of The Cross

The cross was not a backup plan—it was necessary. In this message, we uncover why atonement was required, why sin demands payment, and why only Christ could provide it.

Why God Is Worth Trusting | Proverbs 3:5–6

In this message from Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV), we explore one of the most well-known and powerful commands in all of Scripture: “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” So often we try to figure life out on our own. We lean on our understanding, our plans, and our wisdom. But God calls us to something deeper — a wholehearted trust in Him. In this sermon we look at why God is truly worth trusting: • Because of who He is • Because of His perfect wisdom • Because of His faithful guidance • Because He promises to direct our paths Even when life is confusing and we cannot see the road ahead, God invites us to trust Him fully. 📖 Scripture: Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV) If this message encouraged you, consider liking, subscribing, and sharing so others can hear the truth of God’s Word.
