Our Pastor's Preaching Philosophy
At our church, Pastor David is deeply committed to gospel-centered expository preaching, a method that carefully explains and applies the Bible's text in its proper context. This approach ensures that God's Word is faithfully communicated to our congregation.
The Grand Narrative of Scripture
Pastor David structures his sermons around the grand narrative of the Bible, which consists of four major acts:
Creation: God's perfect design
Fall: Humanity's rebellion and sin
Redemption: Jesus Christ's rescue plan
Restoration: Renewal through Christ
This framework helps present the full scope of God's redemptive story in every sermon.
The PPGR Method
To align his sermons with this grand narrative, Pastor David uses the PPGR method (McKay Caston)
Principle: Reflects Creation by presenting the truth from the passage in context
Problem: Relates to the Fall by addressing sin and struggles
Gospel: Mirrors Redemption by highlighting Christ's saving work
Response: Aligns with Restoration by encouraging a new life in Christ
Impact on Our Congregation
This gospel-centered approach ensures that our sermons are:
Rooted in the overarching story of Scripture
Helping our church family understand biblical truths in their proper context
Encouraging recognition of personal struggles and the need for Christ
Emphasizing the importance of embracing Christ's salvation
Inspiring transformed lives in Christ
This method supports our church's vision of "Seeking to become DISCIPLES transformed by the GOSPEL to make DISCIPLES." We invite you to join us and experience the power of God's Word preached faithfully and applied practically to our lives.
