As we talked about yesterday, we are gearing up for our twelfth and final national conference

here in Minneapolis.

It begins on Friday related to the theme of the conference.

We have questions here that I want to post you, Pastor John, and here's the next one.

Rather directly put, Pastor John, I rely on my pastor to study the Bible and tell me what

it says.

I don't feel like I need to read the Bible because I'm listening to his preaching every

week.

So what would you say to a person who believes the Sunday sermon is enough Bible and take

for their week?

I was a pastor and I love it when people listen.

I love it when people trust their pastors and when they're excited to hear him explain

the Bible each week.

Amen.

Amen.

That's wonderful.

But something's wrong here.

I mean, this is serious.

One's wrong here if the word of God is coming with power.

Each week, it doesn't just satisfy a hunger, it creates hunger.

I would have felt like a total failure.

If my people said, because of your preaching, we don't read our Bible.
