By Peter Mead on Feb 28, 2025

| 24,905 views

Preachers can respond well, shepherd wisely, and preach faithfully for the glory of Christ.

John Piper: My View Of Preaching

By John Piper on Aug 21, 2024

| 33,012 views

True preaching is expository exultation explaining the Bible and exulting over its truth. This vision shapes the church, fuels worship, and carries eternal weight.

John Piper: Bible-Oriented Preaching Or Entertainment?

By John Piper on Aug 24, 2024

| 30,138 views

True preaching is bound to Scripture, not personality. A Bible-tethered preacher speaks with God’s authority, while entertainment preaching drifts from the Word.

Scripture: John 17:20, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 4:12, Isaiah 66:2

By Mark Dever on Sep 4, 2024

By Michael Catt on Sep 9, 2024

By Peter Mead on Sep 16, 2024

Some sermons overwhelm without penetrating. Faithful preaching carries the weight of Scripture but delivers it with the sharp focus of a blade.
