In these truth-starved days, we must be bold in our proclamation of God’s Word.

There is a great need for pastors, teachers, and spiritual leaders to be better equipped and energized to preach the Scriptures. The highest purpose of the preacher is to faithfully exposit Scripture to his hearers. Herein lies the power of God in His church. We must not look to trendy gimmicks, manipulative methods, or shallow entertainment, but in the proclamation of biblical truth. Our goal is to encourage pastors, church leaders, Bible teachers, and those interested in the ministry of biblical preaching to stand strong and to equip them to correctly exposit the Word of God. Dr. Steven Lawson will gather with pastors, church leaders, Bible teachers, and anyone interested in the ministry of biblical preaching and teach multiple sessions on expository preaching.
