He preached a long revival at the First Pentecostal Church in Jackson Mississippi back in 1981 between March/April all the way to May. He did not have a lot of variations to his preaching back then. He preached the same messages week after week for every Monday to Sunday. So if you ask for one week of his sermons you would get the whole content of three month revival. The pastor was Thomas L Craft. This church had the college in it's hand in that year. Richard Heard did not really preach at the college though that I remember. Just at the church. There should be a website to reach Bro Crafts church in order to see if you can get someone there to send you some cassette tapes.

Bro. Heard preached in Madisonville in the early eighties as well. I remember his sermon on "The Ashes of the Red Heifer". It really was a good sermon. I enjoy Jewish History and studying their traditions and so I enjoyed this sermon.

I don't remember "scare tactics". However, ummmm, I really don't scare that easily! LOL

from what I have heard (from sources who actually went to church there) Bro Free was actually forced to retire. He had brought in Richard Heard (he was originally out of Free's church in Sulphur LA) to help him co-pastor and after a few years he did a corporate take over....or so I heard. I know for a fact though that Bro. Free was despondant for many years and was very bitter over leaving.

Oh and by the way for a bit of history....grandma Bean started the church (which started in Greens Bayou) and then Verbal Bean took over in the 1970's and upon his death Bro. Free was voted in. He built the new sanctuary on the property that Bro. Bean purchased.

I still have friends that go there.
