2025 Sword Conference

39 min • 26 juni 2025

The sermon critically examines contemporary Christian practices, particularly the monetization of theological education through conferences and the sale of recorded sermons. It questions the biblical justification for charging fees for accessing spiritual instruction, contrasting it with the ideal of freely sharing the Gospel and emphasizing the importance of accessible theological resources. The speaker expresses concern over the commodification of preaching and encourages listeners to support ministries directly rather than through expensive conferences, advocating for a return to simpler, more accessible forms of spiritual growth and dissemination of knowledge.
