The MacArthur Center PodcastAuthor: The Master's Seminary
As The MacArthur Center for Expository Preaching at The Masters Seminary opens its doors, season one of its flagship podcast will tell the surprising, providential, compelling story of how John MacArthur became synonymous with expository preaching. From his first sermon at Grace Community Church on February 9, 1969, through his 52 years of relentless, verse-by-verse exposition from the New Testament, John has modeled a simple idea: that the Bible is clear and the preachers task is to patiently explain that meaning to his audience. This documentary-style season will look at Grace Community Church, which during Johns 52-year ministry has grown from a small, nondescript church in the middle of the San Fernando Valley into one of the largest, most influential churches in the United States. These eight episodes will tell the story of Johns calling into pastoral ministry and explain why, and how, he preaches the way he does. It will also trace his involvement in controversies and look at how he preaches during cultural upheaval and personal suffering. Dont miss season one of The MacArthur Center podcast.
