A lack of clarity
We’ve all sat in sermons that weren’t very helpful. The content can be theologically sound, the work of the preacher was put into the text and they’ve tried to bring out the right things, but you’ve still walked away somewhat confused. Ever felt like that?

The Beauty and Power of Biblical Exposition
One of the key tasks of a Pastor is preaching God’s Word and it is a wonderful privilege!
