Why Expositional Preaching Is Particularly Glorifying to God (Session V)

Speakers: John Piper Year: 2006 Session: Main Session

A pastor is charged to not simply inform people of what God says, but to exult in it. A pastor’s task is to herald a message permeated by the greatness and glory of God through His word. The necessity and nature of preaching is influenced by what one believes about the glory of God. Know and enjoy God, so that you are a life transformed by displaying His infinite worth.
