“Expository preaching isn’t about imposing our ideas onto Scripture—it’s about letting Scripture speak for itself. When the main idea of the text becomes the main idea of the sermon, God’s Word shapes both the preacher and the people. In this year-end conversation, we reflect on how faithful, verse-by-verse preaching has formed our understanding of the gospel, challenged us through difficult passages, and deepened our appreciation for God’s redemptive plan revealed from Genesis to Revelation.”

Salvation is not determined by man's worthiness but by God's authority. It is impossible for sinful man, blind in sin, to receive and believe on Jesus for salvation. But God, rich in mercy, grants with His power and authority, by grace alone, for sinners to receive and believe in faith on Jesus and to become children of God. From beginning to end, salvation is entirely the work of God—a truth that brings both humility and unshakable hope to all who trust in Christ.
