1
00:00:02,310 --> 00:00:05,810
Most pastors are set in their ways and

2
00:00:05,810 --> 00:00:08,030
have little desire to change.

3
00:00:08,590 --> 00:00:11,530
They're like a great ocean liner that cannot

4
00:00:11,530 --> 00:00:12,830
be easily turned.

5
00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:16,470
But I believe young preachers can be molded

6
00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:18,950
for good with the following truths of the

7
00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:19,370
gospel.

8
00:00:20,270 --> 00:00:23,710
When I have personally preached these ten gems

9
00:00:23,710 --> 00:00:27,750
of biblical preaching, I have seen God move

10
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:29,030
in the midst of his people.

11
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:33,370
I've seen the careless silenced, the indifferent brought

12
00:00:33,370 --> 00:00:34,110
to tears.

13
00:00:34,690 --> 00:00:38,570
I've witnessed sinners awaken to their lost condition,

14
00:00:39,050 --> 00:00:42,210
a spiritual transformation in the hearts of my

15
00:00:42,210 --> 00:00:42,850
hearers.

16
00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:46,970
And I've seen an entire congregation unable to

17
00:00:46,970 --> 00:00:49,430
move under Holy Spirit conviction.

18
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:52,810
I will list these ten truths or these

19
00:00:52,810 --> 00:00:55,070
ten gems for you now, friends.

20
00:00:55,210 --> 00:00:58,230
And I'll say this, if a preacher were

21
00:00:58,230 --> 00:01:01,130
to incorporate just a few of these, it

22
00:01:01,130 --> 00:01:04,489
would transform his pulpit ministry by leaps and

23
00:01:04,489 --> 00:01:05,050
bounds.

24
00:01:05,550 --> 00:01:09,410
Here now are the ten gems of effectual

25
00:01:09,410 --> 00:01:09,910
preaching.

26
00:01:10,590 --> 00:01:14,430
Number one, preach for conviction of sin.

27
00:01:15,330 --> 00:01:20,030
Number two, preach for the disturbing presence of

28
00:01:20,030 --> 00:01:20,630
Christ.

29
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:26,050
Number three, preach the badness of man's heart

30
00:01:26,050 --> 00:01:27,830
and his ruined condition.

31
00:01:28,650 --> 00:01:32,630
Number four, preach God's demand for repentance.

32
00:01:33,750 --> 00:01:39,130
Number five, preach man's utter necessity of regeneration.

33
00:01:40,510 --> 00:01:44,850
Number six, preach about a final judgment where

34
00:01:44,850 --> 00:01:48,090
all men will be held up against the

35
00:01:48,090 --> 00:01:52,830
severity and strictness of God's unbending law.

36
00:01:53,790 --> 00:01:58,050
Number seven, preach against sin in the lives

37
00:01:58,050 --> 00:02:00,850
of your hearers and God's call to holiness.

38
00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:06,530
Number eight, preach about the miseries and torments

39
00:02:06,530 --> 00:02:09,270
of damnation in a burning hell.

40
00:02:10,230 --> 00:02:14,110
Number nine, preach about the cross in the

41
00:02:14,110 --> 00:02:16,410
life of the believer and the cost of

42
00:02:16,410 --> 00:02:17,450
discipleship.

43
00:02:18,130 --> 00:02:21,910
And lastly, number 10, preach up the lordship

44
00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:25,130
of Jesus Christ, who has rights and claims

45
00:02:25,130 --> 00:02:28,670
on all followers of his in their daily

46
00:02:28,670 --> 00:02:29,130
living.

47
00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:33,790
One final word, friends, a God-called preacher

48
00:02:33,790 --> 00:02:37,070
will be anointed by the Holy Spirit and

49
00:02:37,070 --> 00:02:39,670
he will fear God and not man.
