This message is short, as much of the service was filled with spontaneous testimonies and singing and prayer. It is included because it fits in the series from Ephesians 5. The message opens with an apology. Pastor Stipp was his own worst critic, and he apologizes for his shortcomings in speaking and preaching; however, many would say that is what made his messages relatable and down to earth.
