In this episode, I am once again joined by Pastor Eric Attinger to continue our conversation concerning biblically faithful sermons. This time, we discuss what makes a sermon authoritative, the source of a preacher’s authority, and the pitfalls that arise when a preacher starts to buy his own press.
Eric serves alongside me at Stonington Baptist Church in Paxinos, Pennsylvania, where he lives and serves with his wife Jade, and their son Rosco. You can connect with him on Facebook.
