1 Kings 17:1-7
INTRODUCTION:
A- We all have a desire to make a difference in our corner of the world.
1- Story of the young man who wanted to make a difference in the world by being a great preacher.
He listened to all of the great preachers of his day and was awed by the clarity with which they spoke.
He finally went to the one that had the clearest diction of them all to find out his secret.
The elder preacher told him, “Go to the beach at the ocean and seek to be able to speak clearly above the ocean waves.
Next, fill your mouth with marbles and learn to speak clearly above the sound of the surf.
One-by-one, remove the marbles while keeping your diction clear.
Finally, when you have lost all of your marbles, you’ll be a great preacher.”
