STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED
LEADERSHIP CLASS – LESSON #2 STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED I have come to a conclusion, after years of observing and inquiry of a plethora of preachers, that there are about as many different study and sermon preparation ways as there are preachers. But one thing is certain—preachers must be students—students of the Word, of […]
Shall Pitch by His own Standard
