The Qualifications of the Preacher, Part 27 (PROCLAIM! 34)

This podcast that teaches every Bible-believing Christian how to preach the Gospel by any means necessary in many different settings, including using the internet and the new "podcast pulpit".

Our Scripture verse on preaching is Titus 1:3 which reads: "God hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour."
