I will be preaching at Jubilee Church, where we are expecting a bigger congregation than we have ever seen before. I am putting the finishing touches to my... Read more

I have already linked to some material from MacArthur’s sermon including quotes on expository preaching and the memorable description of the benefit of expository preaching you will get a church full of Christians. Challies live blog post of this message is also available, not to mention, of course, the mp3 of the message and the panel discussion which followed it.
