The Fear in Leadership
Leadership is about fearing God more than others do. Leadership is about revering God’s name. Leadership is not about taking pleasure in who God is and what He is like. Leadership is about making the chief end of your life helping, instructing, and challenging others to revere and delight in God’s name as well.

Educating the Conscience
The nature of our fallenness is such that we can have a clear conscience and still be wrong; which is why our conscience must be educated by the Word of God.
Expositional Preaching
Sound, expositional preaching is often the fountain head of true growth in a church.
