T4G Article 4 – Sermon Preparation by John Stott

March 20, 2007

I cannot independently confirm the source of this, but I found the following over at Unashamed Workman, described as John Stott’s advice on sermon preparation.

March 8, 2007

Over at Challies’ second live-blogging post on the Shepherds’ Conference, following John MacArthur’s dismissal of amillenialism, Steve Lawson struck a blow for the kind of preaching I have been talking about in my series on the T4G Statement Article 4.

T4G Article 4 – Must Expository Preaching Always be a Series Preaching Through a Book?

March 8, 2007

This continues our series on preaching, which is based on the fourth article of the Together for the Gospel Statement.

T4G Article 4 – Are There Three Types of Expository Preaching?

March 7, 2007

One thing I’ve noticed as I’ve been thinking and reading about preaching recently is that we can’t seem to agree on what “expository preaching” actually is. This is critical for our understanding of Article 4 of the Together for the Gospel Statement, which has prompted this series on preaching. Some seem to feel that true [...]

March 5, 2007

In today’s Martyn Lloyd-Jones Monday, I come to one of the most fascinating questions about preaching.

As we shall see in later posts, people differ on whether to define expository [...]

MARTYN LLOYD-JONES ROUND-UP

August 13, 2006

Martyn Lloyd-Jones was unquestionably the world’s greatest English-speaking Christian teacher of the last century. It is essential that we continue to learn and benefit from this gift of God to the whole church. Loved by charismatics and cessationists alike, even at the height of the tensions felt in the 1960′s and 1970′s, “The Doctor” as [...]

August 8, 2006

Mark Dever asks over at the T4G Blog, “What is C.J.?” The question, no doubt, relates to C.J. having handed over his senior pastor role to Josh Harris.
