Session 48: Billy Graham - Preaching to the Nations
Welcome Back!
Our next legend is Billy Graham, one of the most influential Christian evangelists of the 20th century. Born in 1918, Graham preached to over 200 million people in more than 180 countries. His message of salvation through Christ reached kings, presidents, and ordinary people alike.
Why Graham’s Lesson Matters
Graham believed the gospel was for everyone - no matter their background, status, or nation. His simple yet powerful preaching focused on God’s love, forgiveness, and the call to personal faith in Jesus Christ. His lesson is that truth, spoken clearly and with conviction, can change lives across cultures and generations. Graham shows us that spiritual leadership is not about fame or power but about faithfulness to God’s call.
A Real-World Picture
From massive stadiums to television broadcasts, Graham’s crusades brought the gospel to millions. He advised U.S. presidents, counseled world leaders, and became a respected voice across political and religious divides. Yet he remained humble, always pointing back to Christ rather than himself. He refused to exploit his platform for personal gain and sought to live with integrity. His impact stretched far beyond his lifetime, as ministries and organizations continue his mission today.
Humor Break
Graham once said, “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost. When health is lost, something is lost. When character is lost, all is lost.” A reminder with a touch of wit that integrity is priceless.
Action Step for You
Think about one person in your life who may feel far from God. Pray for them this week or share a simple word of encouragement. Like Graham, you don’t need a stadium - you just need faithfulness in one conversation at a time.
