    In the episode, I am sharing a sermon I preached recently at Calvary Baptist. It is a sermon the life of Samson. It stirred my heart to think that a man a flawed as Samson would be listed along with the other wonderful Old Testament saints. Samson was a mess, but he made the list.

    If you like this sort of episode, let me know and I would be happy to do more. If you did it better, which wouldn't be too hard, send me what you produced. I would be honored to learn from you.

    It is easy to preach over the heads of the people in the pew. As preaching, we want to preach the truth, but we should also desire to preach the truth in simple terms everyone can understand. In this episode, I want to explore a booklet entitled Simplicity in Preaching by J.C. Ryle. Bishop Ryle does a tremendous job of teaching how to preach simple sermons.

    If you would like to obtain a copy of this book, you can do so by using the links below.

    1. Banner of Truth has this booklet for $2.70. https://banneroftruth.org/us/store/booklets/simplicity-in-preaching/

    2. This website makes the .PDF available free of charge: http://www.onthewing.org/user/Ryle%20-%20Simplicity%20in%20Preaching.pdf

    Do yourself and your congregation a favor. Get this booklet, read it, and put it into practice in your preaching.

    We are all aware of the reality pain in life. This episode reminds us there is hope for us amid the main and suffering of life. I hope to encourage preaching to remain faithful when life falls apart around you. You can preach even when you heart, body, and mind are under assault.
