The Preacher: John the Baptist

What made John the Baptist a successful preacher? His popularity wasn’t due to his wardrobe, food choices, preaching location, or engaging sermon openings—though in all of these respects John was remarkable. Rather, his effectiveness was the result of his divine authority, personal integrity, and genuine humility. Alistair Begg examines God’s anointing upon this ordinary man to meet a daunting challenge in an extraordinary way, encouraging and challenging fellow pastors to follow John’s example.
