What Made Paul Washer's "Shocking Message" So Very Shocking?

This is the first episode in The Great Sermon Series. In this video I take a look at Paul Washer's famous (or infamous) "Shocking Message" and ask what made it so very shocking.

This video was sponsored in part by the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, where preachers train for biblical faithfulness and bold preaching. They are offering anyone who watches this video a free resource. Visit http://sbts.edu/challies

The premise of the series is finding and examining modern-day sermons that the Lord has chosen to use in unusually significant ways. What we will find, I think, is that the Lord uses sermons to save, stir, and edify his people--and that sometimes he does this through unexpected messages and messengers.
