Jesus made gospel preaching a priority for himself, the apostles, and the church. And if we are going to carry out the task of gospel preaching today, we must consider why the Lord committed this sacred duty to his followers.

Worse, many pastors worry these messages undermine confidence in the Bible or its authority. But that doesn't have to be the case. Sam Chan and Malcolm Gill answer these objections and chart a path for how preachers can deliver faithful and effective topical messages.

From the beginning of his ministry, Jesus called and equipped individuals who would serve his community of followers. These "shepherds" are called to preach, pray, and care for the needs of God's people. But what does it mean to be a pastor? And what is the nature of this ministry, according to the Bible? In these 10 audio lectures, Jared Wilson begins by looking at the qualifications for the pastorate, addressing the notion of a call to ministry and how an individual—and a church community—can best identify the marks of maturity and affirm a call.

We know that Jesus came to give us an abundant life (John 10:10). Yet many of us would describe our lives with words such as busy, stressed, anxious, or even overwhelmed. Despite how much we dislike the weight of such a frantic existence, we often carry on living with a gap between our experience and the fullness of life we know that Jesus offers. But it doesn't have to be this way. The Bible makes it clear that the position of victory is seated. Seated in Christ.

Through a study of three key chapters in Matthew's Gospel (chapters eight to 10), Taylor argues that Matthew wanted people to understand God's perspective on the times in which we live. Through an analysis of the way in which Matthew presents the miracles Jesus performed and the teaching he gave his disciples, Taylor concludes that we do not live in a day which calls for judgment and condemnation, but rather one demanding gut-wrenching compassion for sinners and a bold proclamation of the forgiveness of sins Jesus came to bring.

The church at Philippi is considered to be one of the model churches of the New Testament. But if this were a report at a shareholders' meeting, we might be asking ourselves whether the chairman has really got this right? Is something being hidden? It seems too good to be true! If this were an athlete stating this, we might be asking ourselves whether there has been some performance-enhancing substance in the diet! And if this were an end-of-term report, we might be asking ourselves if the teacher had got the right child. Can a church really be that good?

Bible study and especially deeper theology is far more vast than most people realize. People who teach from the Holy Scriptures can be very sincere but also sincerely wrong. This is error, rather than "false teaching" which always has an evil motive behind it, such as gleaning wealth from God's people, purposefully confusing them and claiming to be something they are not. This includes Prophets (some men really are Prophets), healers (this supernatural gift does operate today as God wills but some men use false chicanery), and the list goes on.
