Successful Preachers In The Bible … Some Successful Preachers In The Bible … Matthew 11:7–15 (NKJV) 9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet?

Successful Preachers In The Bible … Some Successful Preachers In The Bible … Matthew 11:7–15 (NKJV) 11 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. John the baptist
