From one in the USA in the year 2024, I say this pastor hit the nail on the head, so to speak. Many "denominational churches" are dead or dying. Pastor McConnell gave this interview 22 years ago. His commentary is as true today as it was then. He had no special magical programs. What he gave people was biblical preaching. The church grew from 10 people to 5500 people. This was possible only because he was filled with God's spirit. In his final public testimony at the age of 82, he emphasized that to the younger generation who were there. He challenged those young people telling them they can do the same as he did if they let God lead them. Pastor McConnell was an encourager, not a complainer. How many "pastors" today do you know of spend lots of time complaining and attacking other ministers? Pastor McConnell spent much time in prayer, allowing God's spirit to speak to and guide him. That's why God blessed his long ministry.
What an insprirng man -what a loss to Belfast -I pray that his shoes be filled by another Christ filled preacher. The world is in sore need of people like James McConnell good and faithful servant.
My God I remember that show. The Kelly Show. We used to watch it every Friday night at 10.40pm. If you have any more Kelly Shows please upload them as they is very little of Kelly on CZcams.
I bet that I wouldn't be welcomed into the Whitewell Tabernacle. As a gay man, proud to be part of the LGBTQ+ community, I wonder what the welcome would be like?
@@iamjohnfarlow Repent for what? I have done nothing wrong. Which is the exact way I knew I would be treated. Pathetic. Shaming people just because they are LGBTQ+. I bet they would still want my donation. I am proud to be gay. So it seems Christianity has no place for me.
A great man who worked through the troubles diligently for everyone ,,...many evil people tried and failed to destroy him...RIP ..
Great pastor , Great preacher , Great soul winner , who Loved The Lord , see you soon Jim 😊

Thank you James it was great to hear your wonderful testimony how our God as blessed you and your church.Thank Jesus.
I had the privilege to meet Pastor McConnell in 1997 at Whitewell.
We miss him. He was a good man
Wow, just wow. Praise be!
A great preacher loved him ❤️
Called home to be with The Lord.
17th July 2021.
A lot of great men of God called home this year. 2022 will need a strong church, but where are the real Christian men now?

Good times! Those were the days!

Back when UTV actually cared about local entertainment.
Amen - Pastor James McConnell. That is very scriptural truth, about Islam.
Peak 90s 😂

You would be respected, you wouldn’t be turned away, but both Pastor and churchgoer alike will call you to repent.

Why should a Pastor like McConnell who claims to work for god go to Sun-beds????
