Biblical preaching is a divinely ordained way of calling people to repentance and for edifying the people of God. It is communicating God’s Word to His people—standing between the world of Scripture and the world of people and speaking the truth of God. Some wonder whether preaching is an out-of-date form of communication and not of value to current church needs. Dr. Stott gives a clear presentation of the importance of the preaching ministry today. This course will enable pastors, teachers, and church leaders to understand the importance and power of preaching, to develop an awareness of true biblical preaching, and to receive practical guidance for preparing and delivering biblical messages.

Dr. Stott was the best lecturer I have heard thus far in my studies. He was very easy to understand and taught authoritatively. His book, Two Worlds: The Challenge of Preaching Today, added greatly to this lesson.

This has to be one of the best lecture series I have taken. I am not a preacher, but I was curious about the office. I count it an honor to have been exposed to warmth and passion for the Word of God and for souls that Dr. Stott expressed through these lectures. Thank you for making them available.
