Who preaches like this?

 Never the preacher alone. No one preaching in his or her own strength or wit or intellect or pride.

Recommended listening

A long while back I put up a long series of posts called "Music for the Pastor's Study." Rather than try and excavate it and attach this to it, I'll just let this stand as a free ad for Fred Baker. For many years Fred collaborated with the late, great Phil Miller, and now offers master class videos and labors to promote Miller's legacy project. But here is Fred on his own, demonstrating not only his performance chops, but his brilliant compositions, which are quite accessible. Fred deserves a much bigger audience in his own right.
