Its foolish to want to be known as a preacher who will say anything. But, that was me for the first few years of preaching ministry. Preacher, if this is you do you really want people leaving a service saying “Can you believe he said that” (Mild cuss words, all sorts of slang, unnecessary sex talk)? Would you not rather people leave saying “Can you believe he said that” referring to unbridled preaching of the grace of God. The gospel is the most shocking news of all. It will drop jaws, redden cheeks, clinch a fist, create tears, inspire worship, or send people running. Don’t be so foolish as to think your sermon series title or authenticity is as shocking as the gospel.
