For many, a biblical sermon must be a “condensed dose of dignity” that saves and ennobles battered spirits. Anointed preaching “reverses gravity as people sense the upward pull of heaven.” Such a sermon treats people as “responsible agents whose choices matter forever.”

“There is no more costly gift I could have given that downtrodden woman than my best and God’s best in a sermon. It is a weekly dose of compressed dignity.” -Craig Brian Larsen
