“Preaching is bringing the transforming truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ from a passage that has been properly understood, cogently and practically applied, and delivered with the engaging tenderness and passion of a person who has been broken and restored by the very truths he now stands to communicate. You simply cannot do this without proper preparation, meditation, confession, and worship.”
– Paul Tripp
O, Lord, help me to really preach Your Word – therefore, I pray, speak to me first!
