Barry and Lillian noticed a dramatic change in the new depth of Pastor Jim’s preaching. First, they sensed a new depth of humility in him. Now he often illustrated his points with stories of his own struggles or failures. They also observed that he no longer focused on merely conveying information or attempting to get people to adopt some new behavior. No, Jim spoke about Jesus—messages from Jesus—calling his hearers to a deeper and more personal relationship with Him.
