Preaching Christ

Here's a good reminder from Royce Ogle about the centrality of preaching Christ:

I fear that in most of our churches we are busily learning the nuances of prayer, going to conferences to discover our spiritual gifts, attending lectureships to try to learn some way to do ministry in more effective ways, and in so doing neglect the simplicity of plain gospel preaching depending completely and utterly on the God of heaven for any result. Again and again I am struck by the profound, but very simple message that Peter, Paul and others preached. It was the kind of preaching that got results. When was the last time you heard of well over 3,000 baptisms in a day? I hear lots and lots of great preaching by almost any measure, but not much on Christ and Him crucified.

Royce and most of you have never heard me preach, but you can find my sermon texts on Christ and him crucified (a 1 Corinthians series) at To the Word.
