Five Things God Used To Grow My Faith: Practical Teaching
November 16th 2008 11:23 pm
I’m currently listening to a sermon series by Andy Stanley in which he is talking through the five things he believes God uses to grow our faith. I thought I would comment on my own experiences on each of these points.
The first point is Practical Teaching. By this Andy is talking about hearing the bible being taught in a new and practical way that makes a difference in your life.
When I first became a Christian I didn’t go to church. I took a few jabs at reading a bible but didn’t really hear any preaching. It wasn’t until I moved back to Swindon and after a couple of years started to attend my current church did I start to hear God’s word told in a way that really spoke to me. But it wasn’t my church’s speakers that did it, it was when I started listening to the preaches of Louie Giglio and Andy Stanley at some friends’ house.
These guys preached in a way that really spoke to me and taught me the bible in a fresh and entertaining way. They made a lasting impact on me and I still listen to Andy Stanley’s preaches today. Louie has moved on to youth work which is a shame but he occasionally pops up at North Point Community church with a fantastic sermon. I highly recommend them both.
