— Why he’s one of the greats
One sermon shape for 60 years: the text, the cross, the invitation.
He preached to millions in person and many more on TV, and his sermons survive on audio and video. His secret: one sermon shape, repeated for 60 years. He read the text first, made the stakes personal (“tonight”), and anchored the cross early. He stripped away false hopes and excuses, built to a full cross and resurrection, named the cost and the steps, closed off neutrality, then gave the invitation and waited. The sermon was the short part; the invitation took the time.
- 215MPeople he preached to in person, in 185 countries and territories
- 16Weeks of the 1957 Madison Square Garden crusade
- 60Times on Gallup’s most-admired list, a record
What makes his style unique
“The plainness of his preaching… his utter, breathtaking conviction.”
