We hope to see you here on a Sunday morning!

THE IMPORTANCE OF EXPOSITORY PREACHING

We believe that the Bible is breathed out by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work (cf. 2 Tim 3:16-17). As it was breathed out by God, the Bible carries the authority of God. When the Bible speaks, God speaks. Thus, it "is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword" (Heb 4:12).

Therefore, we believe that preaching should be text-driven. We want to expound what the Bible says. We don't come to a verse and twist it to fit what we want to say. We work hard to study the Word in order to say what the Bible says. We believe the best way to do this is to work verse-by-verse.

Our pastor trained at The Master's Seminary, where John MacArthur served as president for many years. His passion is for biblical preaching that is practical and helpful for all of life. We are convinced of the Bible's power to TRANSFORM lives by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Such Word-focused ministry, based on God-breathed Scripture, fulfills four goals at the same time:

(1) Expository preaching builds up the church in faith and knowledge.

(2) Expository preaching brings believers to maturity marked by spiritual stability.

(3) Expository preaching produces a people whose lives are full of integrity.

(4) Expository preaching equips each member for service to one another.

(cf. Ephesians 4:12-16)
