Because I always tell people, I think you should have long sermons, they have a lot of information.
What I tell people is, you're going to have a lot more credibility from your church members
if they believe that you know the Bible and they're learning from your preaching.
I mean, if I got up here and preached, and you never learned anything because I just didn't know the Bible very well,
or, you know, I didn't really preach hard or whatever, you would have just not...
I wouldn't have a lot of credibility to you, right? You wouldn't really listen to what I'd say.
You would look at me, it's kind of like, well, you know, this is kind of our leader,
but these other online preachers I listen to more. I don't think that's the way it ought to be.
The way I think it ought to be is, if you're in a church, you're hearing good preaching,
and you're like, you know what, you don't feel the need that you have to just listen to a lot of preaching on the side
because you're not being fed here. I need to feed the church of God that is here.
And to the best of my ability, that is what I try to do at this church.
