"A TRUE SERMON BRIDGES THE GULF BETWEEN THE BIBLICAL AND THE MODERN WORLDS, AND MUST BE EQUALLY EARTHED IN BOTH." JOHN STOTT: BETWEEN TWO WORLDS: THE CHALLENGE OF PREACHING TODAY (WM. B EERDMANS 1982).

Preaching is an art, but it’s not fine art. • Fine: the art is an end in itself. • Preaching is a means to an end. And that end is the exaltation of God’s glory among all nations. 1. The ultimate goal of God revealed in His Word is the exaltation of His glory among all the nations. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, ...” Genesis 1:27-28

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.

IF PREACHING GOD’S WORD ISN’T YOUR BIGGEST BLESSING AND YOUR BIGGEST BURDEN, YOU PROBABLY AREN’T DOING IT RIGHT. IT TAKES A LOT OF HARD WORK TO MAKE SOMETHING SIMPLE. -STEVE JOBS
