Dr. Parson’s greatness is beyond measure, even as he is one of the eulogists at Aretha Franklin’s funeral.
THE CLOSER!
Throwback Sermon
In the Black church experience, it was vital to preaching that a preacher knew how to close a sermon. Whether it be through a "whoop" (melodic and almost song-like conclusion of a sermon) or climactic oratory exhortation, "closing" the sermon was crucial for the plight of Black people. We as a Black people needed hope. The Black Church was the place of release. It was a place of release from pain and sorrow. Dr. Parson infused hope, and no matter how much he challenged the Church, he always closed the sermon and inspired people with revived hope.
"It's a Great Day"
The pastor's best and most effective preaching is usually with his own Church. If that is not the case, there is definitely an intimacy in preaching that is undescribable when we as pastors preach to our own church. Here, Dr. Parson is preaching at "home"; the church he pastors, Logos Baptist Assembly in Chicago, Illinois.
