Derek Webb often tells the story of Martin Luther. He preached the Gospel almost every week, and his congregation often gave him a really hard time about it. He told them, "Every week I come and see a room full of people who don't act like they believe this, so I'm going to keep teaching it until you do." Thanks for the linkage Josh. I enjoy your site... Absolutely.

If you listen to pretty much any of his sermons he devotes 5-10 minutes every week on the subject. That is probably the coolest thing about his preaching in my opinion. It doesn't matter if he is preaching through a genealogy, he is always going to tell you how it is all about Jesus.

You'll hear 100 times more about his mistakes than the good God is doing through him because of a really critical blogosphere, especially in his home town of Seattle. I was actually introduced to him as "The cussing pastor" -- someone to watch and criticize and say "Why would anybody follow this guy?" But now I'm sold. Give him a chance :0) This video is from a sermon titled "The Rebel's Guide To Joy in Conflict" from the series "The Rebel's Guide to Joy", which is an expositional teaching series from the book of Philippians.

I knew he did other stuff than bash other Christian leaders. I like the message here, but it left me wondering what he would say it means to "just need Jesus." I have an idea, but I just wonder how he would articulate it. Hooray! I knew he did other stuff than bash other Christian leaders.
