I once heard him give an unannounced sermon at a local church. He was on vacation here, and since the church used his materials for teaching he offered to preach at the Sunday evening service. Word got out by word of mouth (I saw a handwritten announcement in a Christian coffee shop) and the church was packed.

For an hour he preached extemporaneously on the Book of Romans, with no notes or outline. People I think would have been happy to sit there for another hour. Quite impressive. The funniest thing was he was sipping from a Diet Coke the whole time he was preaching, something I don’t think happens very much.
