“The true power, the power that will change your life, is the power, the dunamis, of God the Holy Spirit, and God promises to attend the preaching of His Word with that power. Preaching has no power unless God the Holy Spirit takes His Word and penetrates hearts with it. That's where the power is if you believe the Word of God.”
― R.C. Sproul, John

“To expound Scripture is to bring out of the text what is there and expose it to view. The expositor pries open what appears to be closed, makes plain what is obscure, unravels what is knotted and unfolds what is tightly packed. . . . Whether long or short, our responsibility as expositors is to open it up in such a way that it speaks its message clearly, plainly, accurately, relevantly, without addition, subtraction or falsification.”
― Matt Chandler, Creature of the Word: The Jesus-Centered Church: The Jesus-Centered Church

“The church must be united from the preschool ministry to the pulpit around one central understanding: the gospel transforms. Yes, the gospel must be the foundational truth on which each of these ministries takes their stand.”

“The seasons change, and you change, but your Lord abides evermore the same, and the streams of His love are as deep, as broad, and as full as ever.”
