"you will model for them how to study the Bible". This is so true. 2 years ago I started listening to John Piper's "Look at the Book" (LAB) videos. I started with the Ephesians LAB. It took me two years to get through it. A lot of videos and I took a lot of notes. Not only was it an eye-opener, I learned by watching him how to read and study my bible well. Those LABs he does are amazing!
When you present the Cross, the spectacle demands the unsaved soul to look and the Holy Spirit then presses down on them and demands a choice be made. It is not man, but the Holy Spirit. Preaching presents the Cross, the requirement to repent, and instruction and on how to receive Christ. No amount of study can teach this. Jesus said follow me. He preached repentance more than anything else, the rest of what he said pointed back to what the prophets said.
I tend to disagree with you, @sbutler409. Mechanics are all about how small things works together to drive a big thing. He's talking about how the specifics of preaching effects the whole church. He's talking about mechanics.
I am not a reformist, but I am an expository preacher. I have enjoyed the teaching, but have noticed that you have mentioned following your mentors 1000 times, and never mention listening to The Holy Spirit. That is troubling. Also, I am not a charismatic, but I do believe that pastors should be listening to the prompting of God, instead of systematic teaching.
I think you need to listen to him a little closer. He only goes to His mentors in as far as they are correct in Scripture and this is only for the good practice of preaching & doctrine. All is secondary to the Word and the Holy Spirit’s work. This is homiletics and he is getting into the practical aspect.
I am not from the church of Christ but he totally exposed to me his thinking when he called a whole denomination non-Christian because he disagrees with their theology I know many people from the church of Christ who are most definitely Christians but he is so deep in his Calvinist thinking he thinks they are the only ones saved. Also trends to be Baptist thinking in general.(not meant to be offensive to Baptist I love all brothers and sisters in Christ and willing to understand not all will agree) not to mention you can’t categorize all from church of Christ to think the same or all Baptist to think the same. This man seems to have some very good sound teaching and preaching but I feel like men in his position have to be especially careful to stay humble
Without a Calvinist decoder ring: John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. With a Calvinist decoder ring: John 3:16 For God ONLY loved the ELECT CALVINIST world that he gave his one and only Son, that ONLY THE ELECT CALVINIST WHO ARE FORCED TO believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

@Keith Worley I know the truth is hard to take! "God arranges all things by his sovereign counsel, in such a way that individuals are born, who are doomed from the womb to certain death and are to glorify him by their destruction.( John Calvin Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 23, Paragraph 6)
@@truth7416this video isn’t even about calvinism. Your comments on John3:16 are strawmen and slanderous of a Biblical christian/Calvinist. You don’t need to be a Calvinist to be elect. Calvin certainly never said that, and what you just quoted from Calvin is in Roman’s 9

I have gone through the series twice so far. OUTSTANDING!! I want MORE !!! 😅
As a potential future pastor who might not be able to go to seminary, this is so valuable. Thank you for uploading.
Thank you for the uploading Steve’s teaching; I feel like I am sitting in the classroom. Very, very insightful teaching.

thank you for these lectures! I'm from Brazil, and I want to learn from Dr. Lawson, this God's man. I'm so blessed with these videos! thanks
Thank you for posting this video class. No expositor's academy here in our place and one of the reason why apostate churches are escalating.
Thank you for this teaching! Praise God for TMS.
I feel very blessed to now, thanks to everyone there, have such a deeper understanding and illumination of The Word Of God.

How about expository preaching through the attributes of God and looking at each passage of each attribute?
Thanks form Pakistan
Not a lecture on the investigative phase... but still helpful. Misleading title.

I feel like Dr. Steven Lawson was hungry when teaching this... lots of food references XD

Humility is not exactly a “reformist” trait.
Simply put IF you believe baptism saves you then you are not saved.
