Podcast: Tom Atkins — ‘We need the power of Holy Spirit’

May 25, 2009 by MethodistThinker

This week’s MethodistThinker Podcast features a sermon by evangelist Tom Atkins, immediate past president of the National Association of United Methodist Evangelists.

The Rev. Tom Atkins

The Rev. Tom Atkins

After serving as a pastor in the North Georgia Conference for more than two decades, Tom became one of North Georgia’s General Evangelists in 1994.

Since that time, he has preached at revivals, camp meetings, and special services in nearly 30 of the UMC’s annual conferences.

Tom Atkins is also a member of the Francis Asbury Society, founded by former Asbury College president Dennis Kinlaw. The society is a group focused on “liv[ing] and proclaim[ing] the truth that complete Christian salvation involves not only forgiveness but also… transformation through the Holy Spirit’s power.”

The sermon on this week’s podcast, “We Need the Power of the Holy Spirit,” was preached in January 2009 at an evangelism rally sponsored by two districts of the North Georgia Conference.

    O Breath of Life,
    Come sweeping through us,
    Revive your church with life and power.
