Forty Years of Gospel Ministry (Session VII)

Speakers: John MacArthur Year: 2006 Session: Main Session

John MacArthur reflects on a lifetime of ministry and the convictions which have kept him on track. He shares that expository preaching establishes authority over mind and soul. It is of first importance to study the Word of God and rely upon the Holy Spirit. He commends the pastor to bring the mind of Christ to bear.
