Feast or famine? : the priority of biblical preaching -- The need of the hour : the power of biblical preaching -- Bring the book! : the pattern of biblical preaching -- No higher calling : the passion of biblical preaching.

We need only read a few chapters into the book of Acts to realize the early church experienced vibrant spiritual vitality and explosive growth, not because of gimmicky techniques, but because it focused on the priority of biblical preaching. Now more than ever, the church diligently needs pastors who fulfill their highest calling-who respond to the divine summons to feed the flock by preaching the whole Word of God. We need men of God expounding the Word of God so the voice of God may be heard, the glory of God seen, and the will of God obeyed. This is expository preaching, and this is the dire need today.
