Good preachers for youth?

I am starting a sermon library for my youth group where they can borrow sermons on CD that i have downloaded from SI.

Can you suggest some preachers on here who are good at preaching to young people or have sermons directed to them?

I know about Jesse Morrell and Winkie Pratney, but could you tell me some more please?

Any recommended video sermons that would be good for youth would also be appreciated (I showed my youth group the Paul Washer video last week- 'Are you saved' and it really opened the eyes of some of my young people to the fact that they have been deceiving themselves).

Thanks!

George

A dear brother named Voddie Baucham recently preached at our youth getaway, and he's rock solid on the Word. Here is his website for more info: http://www.voddiebaucham.org

My teenaged sons have enjoyed Revival Hymn and Leonard Ravenhill's messages.

i strongly recomend keith daniels sermons, they are great, and one of his i belive he is preaching to youths, is a sermon called word of GOD.

PAUL WASHER....

Great preacher, SI has lots of his sermons to download and some were originally preached at youth events.

Thanks everyone so far. Keep them coming!

Amy, thank you especially, it was encouraging to hear that from you.

I so agree with you! I guess i was asking about preachers who are directing their preaching to young people, but yes you are right- I should give them the best preaching.

I am not a sugar coater honestly! I want my young people to grow up in Christ and become mature, I really do. If they are going to listen to Ravenhill though they will have to set aside the whole evening! He can be pretty long! But hey if they can watch a film for 2 hours (which i am trying to discourage) they should be able to listen to a sermon for an hour and a half!

Thank you for the encouragment that there are young people who are truly hungry for God's Word.

Art Katz.. anything.

I wholeheartedly concur, however don't forget that it is these very movies that make it near impossible to pay attention to the longer stuff (although Ravenhill has a way of gripping even the most calloused heart).

May I suggest that you consider breaking up the sermons in order to watch them over a couple of weeks, and encouraging discussion about what has transpired so far? When I was a sales rep, this was kind of how I listened to sermons, catching bits and pieces between sales calls. Also you could try some of the preaching compilations, as they are shorter and get straight to the point. They can also be used to springboard into the sermons that make them up, in order to drive points home.

Another possibility is trying Ray Comfort, as he is highly entertaining, while maintaining a high level of orthodoxy and sobriety (in a humorous kinda way). I have found that "Hell's Best Kept Secret" and "True and False Conversion" have served as a good "gateway" to other speaker. It's funny how waking up to the possibility that you may have been kidding yourself about being "saved", wakes you up to the need to hear a little truth.

One young person that I gave Comfort to listen to, started off being "antiKJV" and now it is his preferred translation (his previous was "the Message"). I don't mention this to spark a KJV only debate, but simply to show how hearing truth can lead to someone taking the Bible a little more seriously, rather than taking the easy road.

Another had heard Keith Daniel early on, and then after hearing Comfort, through to Reidhead, through to Washer and Ravenhill, came back to the Daniel sermon that I had originally given him, and admitted that he thought that I had "lost the plot" when I had given it to him, but now that he understood what it was about, it was one of his most precious. He has now gone from been a "church kid" who played drums and showed up every Sunday, to being a regular open air preacher in Melbourne, every Friday night since April last year.

Good luck, and all the best with what you are trying to acheive. :-D

Anyway, I'm a month shy of 18 years old, so I'm still a youth, and I can tell you this: Feed 'em the real stuff! I may be young, but I can appreciate good preaching when I hear it. If it challenges me, it's good. I'm a big fan of Ravenhill's preaching. I love listening to David Wilkerson. Most of the time it's not the youth-oriented preaching that satisfies me: too much of it is playing down to us, and some of it is even covering it in sugar so it doesn't taste so bad going down. That kind of stuff doesn't challenge me at all. If I'm going to listen to preaching, I'm going to listen to preaching, regardless of whether or not the sermon is directed at young people. Just give them regular sermons from various people (within reason, of course). Call to Anguish is a good one. Revival Hymn is another. I'm fond of lots of them. Comps are probably my favorite thing to listen to, though.

This is my opinion also. I am a month shy of ninteen and have the same feelings. Give them meat and not milk. Youth are as willing to learn if one is willing to preach to them, and not try to dance, string guitars, dress up in funny clothes trying to "relate" to are condition. I'll list the names of some preachers I recommmend, and you go to their audio pages and download whater is starred, or featured on the top 20 downloads.

Ravenhill
David Wilkerson
Zach Poone
Paris Headreid
Paul Washer
Art Katz
Corrie Ten Boom
Ian Paisly
Alan Carins
A W Tozer
K.P. Yohannan
B.H. Clendennen
Vance Haver
Ray Comfort
Rev John Wagner(may have to go to sermonaudio.com for him)
Rolf Benard(check out the God of the bible kills people sermon)
Finally, check the compilations, there pretty good. Avoid the worldly ones with worldy background music.

I first came to this site looking for a sermon that someone had told me about, "Revival Hymn" actually!
I was richly blessed after listening to that and so I began listening to other of these godly sermons.
I had listened to many of these preachers before, but now I was able to "get to know them" a lot better, and then also to find men I'd never heard of before.

I appreciate many of these godly men, especially Keith Daniel and Leonard Ravenhill. I started listening to these sermons when I was probably 15 or so (now I'm a month shy of 18), and I must say that they've had a great impact on my walk with God.
The comps are great, but yeah, you have to be careful!

Hey, and God bless you brother as you serve the Lord.

Zac Poonen has some very solid teachings for youth here on SI. You'll have to plow through the hundreds and hundreds of messages in his archive to find them, but they are there. The Lord has endowed Poonen with an astonishing measure of supernatural wisdom which I have yet to find in any other Bible teacher. Any youth or adult who hears (and puts into practice) this man's teachings will profit in the Lord exponentially.

Brother Paul

Well, thanks to all for your advice and encouragment! I will put in many of the sermons by the people you recommended.

And finally, how encouraged i am to find that there are so many young people on this site who love good God centred preaching. I praise the Lord for it. Perhaps the future is not so bleak after all.

Be encouraged young people, keep devoting yourselves to the Lord wholeheartedly, escape the corruptions of this world and its amusements which will stiffle all the spiritual life you have if you let it. Give your whole body, soul and Spirit to Jesus Christ and serve your creator all the days of your live.

If many of us devote ourselves to Jesus Christ and the furtherance of His glory and Kingdom in the world then we can make an impact on this world in our generation for the glory of God. Oh the day when the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

when i was 19 and got saved it was from listening to a preacher who was at least 60.

his age did not matter to me what spoke to me was his sincere love for God and his love and concern for me.

the youth do not need someone to appeal to thier flesh and be cool like them they need to see someone who is more like Christ then the world and someone who is different and possesses something that they need.

keep up the great work it sounds to me like you realy have a heart for these young people.
have you listened to Carter Conlon from New York and Pastor David Wilkerson.

they preach truth, and grace along with holiness.I think there messages would challenge your youth!

God bless.... :-)

Yes I have heard some David Wilkerson's Sermons and i like him particularly because he seems to really the truth in love. Carter Conlon I have not heard yet, but I will have to listen to him now!

"Christ Our Life" out of Abbotsford, BC, Canada has some excellent comps done with very thought provoking sermons that flow beautifully with their music. I think you can find a few here at SI, or check out their [url=http://www.christourlife.ca/]website[/url]. I love their "Do You Want Revival?" comp!
I think the youth will also appreciate sermons by Vance Havner, AW Tozer, Denny Kenaston, Keith Daniel and Chuck Smith, to name a few.
God bless you,
