There are plenty of great preachers and teachers who I trust and respect. They serve as pastors, teachers, professors, scholars and theologians in their respective areas. I can list many reasons why I believe they are great preachers and teachers, and what criteria I use to arrive at this conclusion. There are three important measures I regularly use: 1. Character, 2. Belief, and 3. the Bible.

Character

Does this individual exemplify Christ by faithfully serving God? What others say about them? It is important to know if preachers practice what they preach.

Belief

What individual believe (doctrine) will ultimately impact their preaching and teaching. Be sure to check and see if person has high regards for traditional doctrine of faith.

The Bible

Does individual rightly divide God’s truth (2 Tim. 2:15)?  Well-crafted sermon includes careful studies of the Scripture and anchored in God’s Word.

Today, you will hear from Arie Bar-David, Bible teacher from Israel. Arie is one of the most important figures among Jewish believers in Israel and influenced thousands through his teaching. Arie is friend of City Life Church and have influenced many who were part of his study tours. The video you are about to watch was filmed in April 2016 at the Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.  JY
