How Piper Learned to Preach

You might be getting the idea that I am obsessed with John Piper since several of my last few posts have included content from him. Well I assure you I am not and don't agree with him on everything. However, I do love the emphasis of his preaching. 

The following is an excerpt from an interview question with John Piper on, "Where and how do you learn how to preach?" This was posted today on the desiringgod.org blog at How Piper Learned to Preach. Go there to read the entire transcript, or you can watch the video below.

"I think the way that I became a preacher was by being passionately thrilled by what I was seeing in the Bible in seminary. Passionately thrilled! When Philippians began to open to me, Galatians open to me, Romans open to me, the Sermon on the Mount open to me in classes on exegesis (not homiletics, but exegesis), everything in me was feeling, "I want to say this to somebody. I want to find a way to say this because this is awesome, this is incredible!"

So for preachers today that go everywhere but the Bible to find something interesting or something scintillating and passionate, I say, "I don't get it. I don't get that at all!" Because I have to work hard to leave the Bible to go somewhere to find an illustration, because everything in the Bible is just blowing me away. And it is that sense of being blown away by what's here—by the God that's here, and the Christ that's here, and the gospel that's here, and the Spirit that's here, and the life that is here—being blown away by this, I just say, "That's got to get out."

Abiding in the Christ-Vine, John 15

This past Sunday I had the privilege of bringing the message at South Suburban Christian Church (Littleton, CO) in all three morning services. Wow! I was truly exhausted, I don't know how our pastor does it every week. There are several options for taking in the Word. You can watch the video version below, view a larger version of the video at the Vimeo site, or just download the audio (mp3) file only. The video is not of me actually speaking, but it is the audio with powerpoint slides containing the main points, pictures, as well as the Biblical text and quotes from the sermon to follow along. Comments, questions, stories, and critiques are encouraged. May the Holy Spirit be our Teacher.

The Most Important Thing About You

I had the privilege a little over a week ago to preach at my home church in N.C. My sermon was titled "The Most Important Thing About You." It was on Acts 17:16-34, where Paul was preaching to the Athenian rulers and philosophers. I filtered Paul's sermon through one of my favorite quotes by A.W. Tozer.

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."
A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy

Here was my big idea:
The most important thing, which ought to shape and define the life of every Christian, is knowing God and making God known.
