I agree that questions were well stated. I take issue, not a biggie, with what John said about ruling out narrative preaching. I don't think we can rule out narrative preaching because people are used to it. The same elements that a person can use to make expository preaching interesting, is the same elements that can be applied to narrative preaching. I also thing that most of the discourses of Jesus were narrative preaching style. So there is a place for narrative preaching in our pulpits. Soli Deo Gloria TC Great stuff John! I agree that questions were well stated. I take issue, not a biggie, with what John said about ruling out narrative preaching.

I also thing that most of the discourses of Jesus were narrative preaching style. So there is a place for narrative preaching in our pulpits.

Soli Deo Gloria

Later I asked him if he thought any of these errors were present in our congregation. "No," he answered. "Then why did you preach this to us?" I asked. "Did we need to hear this?" At that point this young preacher admitted that he had been preaching, not so much to our church as to "Christians in general." He acknowledged that this might not have been the most appropriate content for preaching in our church, given all of the other things we really did need to hear.

John has taught me to love the study of the Word. Expository Preaching certainly has been the method I have tried to follow. Twenty-five years of listening and read MacArthur has had an effect on the way I view the Word of God. The Word of God has had an effect upon my life. Thanks for this post.

This interview will prove to be a good resource to look back on time and time again. This ministry seems to be just that, a ministry. You folks are speaking to issues that are a regular part of my thinking. Please, continue to share the inner workings of what you are and why you are doing it. There are a lot of us "Timothy's" out here that desire to be trained, admonished and encouraged. God Bless! Thank you for the candid questions and answers.
