We can learn a lot from the past. Personally, as a pastor, I can learn a lot from pastors who have went before me and those who are currently faithfully following God's call on their life. This is why I highly recommend watching these videos by Tim Challies.

Tim Challies has a series of videos about great sermons that have been preached. He takes the viewers into the sermon, setting, and impact of these sermons. I love these videos in a similar way that I love reading historical biographies: We can learn and apply things to our own lives from videos like these. Click on each link below:
