This site has one main passion and concern - to encourage expository preaching. It is my conviction that the greatest need of the Church today is a recommitment to faithful, powerful, fearless expository preaching. Those of us who have been called into this ministry must do all we can to strenghthen one another’s hands and also identify, encourage and train up other men to take on this great work.

There are several components to this site:

1. I post regular articles that I have either written myself or gleaned in my reading on the subject of preaching

2. I am gradually compiling a manuscript on expository preaching which I am calling ‘Preach the Word’. This can be accessed from the ‘Preach the Word’ page at the top of the site and via the ‘Pages’ link on the second sidebar.

3. I read books on preaching and the post reviews. These reviews are scattered throughout the blog archives, but there are also links to them from the ‘Books’ page at the top of the site.

4. I link to and feature a wide variety of resources that I believe will be helpful to preachers.

I am always on the look out for resources, events, books, preachers etc that I can recommend, reveiw or link to and welcome any suggestion either through the online comments or via email to john@thebrands.org.uk
