A plea for better sermons

One of the directives in Scripture is that church elders must be didaktikos – able to teach.

Many are satisfied with understanding theology or caring for people, but sometimes not so great at motivating others to have a passion to live for Jesus. Good preaching is much more than good theology – there must be urgency and passion.

John Piper has said: ‘The preacher’s job is for people to know God and to find Him more satisfying than food, sex, money, sports, or media. They’re idolaters if they don’t.’
