"Since the beginning of time, each generation has been blessed with tremendous voices that have risen beyond the status quo, the standard, and the “all too common.” Voices that are extraordinary, exceptional, and phenomenal, allows one to know, that it’s the voice of God communicating with humanity. God's glory and presence invade earthen vessels for His divine purpose. Dr. Parson for more than six decades has been and still is the voice of God in this Post resurrection generation. His pedigree as a preacher of the gospel elevates him to an ultra-supreme category that only a few get to experience."

“As a seminarian, grammarian, theologian, and church clinician, I am privileged to witness the diamonds of Rev. Parson’s preaching transcend traditional models of sermon delivery, even beyond the best of seminarians and homileticians. I only state my previous credentials to join the many Gospel gemologists who affirm that Dr. Parson is more than legit, he’s legendary.”

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.
