How shall they hear without a preacher?

Preaching is ‘supernatural’ communication

Preaching isn’t sermons, talk, conversation or ‘speaking’

You need a preacher before a pastor

Jesus compares the intake of God’s word equal to the intake of food (Matthew 4:4)

Voice distinction and voice priority

Implant: Something from the outside put into you

·         Mark 11:24

Understanding the nature of faith

Mark 11:24 is the only verse that answers the question ‘how to believe’

‘Hope’ is believing we are going to receive

Faith is “we have received”

Faith is always in the past-tense, not future
