Men Of God Part 1

You may not have noticed that I changed the main header of my blog. I dropped the musical musings title in favor of just Brother Byron's Blog. I think that more accurately describes this blog. I will still post things about music but I also just find myself posting about other things that deal with the ministry. Tonight I would like to introduce you to 3 of my favorite preachers, that is why I titled this post "Men of God."

Tony Hutson - I had not ever listened to a single sermon by Tony Hutson until sometime last year. I had heard my sister and my brother-in-law mention Brother Tony several times and I had listened to some of the choir singing from his church, Middle Tennessee Baptist, but I hadn't listened to any of his sermons. I have always been a big admirer of his father, Curtis Hutson, and had listened to his sermons numerous times. I've got to say that Brother Tony is one of my all-time favorite preachers now. He preaches the way I like it, straight in your face, plain preaching with no apologies. He also has a wonderful singing voice which you can hear by watching this video clip on YouTube. My very favorite Tony Hutson sermon is one titled, "Am I Your Enemy?"

Greg Locke - I've been listening to Greg Locke for about 2-years now. I stumbled across one of his sermons one night while visiting some sermon sites and I was enthralled by his Bible knowledge and his rapid fire delivery style. He is a young man but he's done a lot of living. He gives a powerful testimony of how God delivered him from a life of crime and rap music, in fact, his story was featured on the radio broadcast, Unshackled. If you want to learn how to memorize scripture, you should check out his instructional video, you will be amazed at his scripture memorization skills. Preacher Locke was a traveling evangelist for several years but now pastor's his own church in Murfreesboro, TN, Global Vision Baptist. You can listen to his sermons on Sermon Audio.com. My very favorite Greg Locke sermon is one titled, "How To Raise A John the Baptist."

Phil Kidd - When I hear preaching I want to hear something that will convict me. I know I can always rely on Phil Kidd to let me have it with both barrels. You want to talk about powerful preaching! I'm not very squeamish but let me tell you, sometimes I squirm when listening to preacher Kidd. He doesn't pull any punches, in fact, he punches his way through the entire sermon. He calls sin for what it is... sin! No rock is left unturned and no sin is left undiscovered. One of these days I hope to be able to attend a service that Phil Kidd preaches. He was recently holding revival in Kingsport and wouldn't you know it, I had to go out of town on business that week. Preacher Kidd also has a powerful testimony of how God delivered him from drugs and prison. This guy has been around the block more than just a few times. My favorite Phil Kidd sermon is one titled, "Plow Preacher Plow."

This post only scratches the surface of my favorite preachers. I will try to post more of these soon.
