In the sermon 'Clip: Preachers and The Church' by David Green, the focus is on Acts 13:1-4, detailing how the Holy Spirit directed the church at Antioch to set apart Barnabas and Saul for specific work. The church's process included fasting, praying, and laying hands on them before sending them off, highlighting the collaborative work between the Holy Spirit and the church community. The sermon emphasizes that regardless of personal calling or individual talent, such as being a great orator or preacher, legitimate ministry should be recognized and endorsed by the church rather than being self-appointed or family-appointed.

Acts 13, verses 1 through 4. Now there were at Antioch in the church that was there prophets and teachers, Barnabas and Simeon, who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, Linnian who had been brought up with Herod the Tetrarch in Saul. While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them. Then when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. So being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Solution, and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

And so we see the Holy Spirit sending them, calling them, sending them. We see they've been sent by the church, the Holy Spirit working in and through the church. That's the pattern. There may be some great orators, some great speakers, praise God, some great gospel preachers who are doing some good things through podcasts and even out on the streets and and and at abortion clinics and other places but they need to understand that being self-appointed or daddy called or mama called or grandpa called or whatever it may be, isn't good enough.
