Session 5
Dr. Mohler led in a wonderful examination of the authority of preaching from the Sermon on the Mount, focusing specifically on Matthew 7:28–29, where the crowds were amazed by Jesus’ preaching because it had authority (and therefore was a huge contrast to the teaching of the rabbis). He exhorted us to teach the Word of God with authority, and to avoid the liberal tendencies of our postmodern age.
Session 6
Phil Johnson will look at two verses in Titus 2:7–8. Titus was a young pastor who was extremely precious to Paul. And Paul writes to Titus with the instructions found in vv. 7–8.
Phil chose this text because he is concerned about the tendency among some pastors to use vulgar topics, filthy jokes, and the like in ministry today under the guise of cultural contextualization. There are those who claim that this kind of speech is essential in order to be relevant to reach the culture. But the apostle Paul said otherwise.
I have listened to both of these messages and they are excellent! Dr. Mohler's message is the best I have ever heard him preach.Grace & Peace

David, we were talking this evening in our Bible study about the fact that you can't improve on God's perfect plan for the church, and that is to "preach the word".
