God ordains different roles, offices, and talents for each person He creates, and when they begin a relationship with Him and are saved by the blood of Jesus, He cultivates them for His glory. Some men are called to be preachers, evangelists, and missionaries, and for a select few through the centuries, their sermons and impact are recorded for posterity. Understanding who these influential preachers were can help a believer understand the Bible better and solidify their own beliefs. The following list is a selection of eight influential preachers whose sermons were or are a part of their legacy. For preachers whose sermons are written down, there are links provided to read some of their work, though this was not possible for each person.
