In today's episode, we'll be listening to chapter 1 of the audiobook for The Importance of Covering by Lance Lambert. This book contains a series of messages that Lance preached in 1971, which were transcribed and are now available as an audiobook narrated by Michael Cross. In this chapter, Lance introduces the biblical concept of "covering" by surveying Old Testament examples and symbols, showing how this theme of spiritual protection appears throughout Scripture when people stay in their right relationship with God.

What makes the difference between preaching that's dead and ministry that lives? In today's episode, Lance breaks down 7 foundational principles for ministering God's Word effectively, emphasizing that we must be ministers of Christ, not just our own ideas.

May your walk with the Lord be a real experience that can be shared with others.
May you learn to comfort other with the comfort you have received from the Lord.

In this rare 1984 recording, Lance Lambert teaches on Christ as the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit, a subject he calls impossible to ignore since it appears at the beginning of all four Gospels.

Lambert addresses why the Holy Spirit is often the "ignored person of the Trinity" and explains what it really means to be baptized in the Spirit. He argues that nothing in Christian life, from conversion to church life to spiritual gifts, is possible without the Holy Spirit's work.

This Holy Spirit baptism message was recovered from VHS footage after the original audio was damaged. You'll see a young Lance Lambert delivering this Bible teaching with his characteristic clarity.
