Making the Scriptures Come Alive in Your Preaching
True preaching is never stale or dull or academic, but fresh and pungent with the living authority of God.

God’s Favorite Method To Make Christ Known
God makes Himself known today supremely in Christ, that He does so through the Scriptures, and that His favorite method of making known the Christ who speaks in the Scriptures is through preaching.
