I've stumbled across a couple of articles that I've found really interesting (on beginningwithmoses.org as per usual):
'Assumed Evangelicalism: Some reflections en route to denying the gospel' by David Gibson
I thought this was interesting because from my (admittedly very limited) experience it seems like many liberal and/or heretical institutions, as well as cults, begin as bible-believing Christian groups that lose their focus and it was great to think about some of the ways in which that might start to happen. I guess not everyone will agree with everything said in the article so I'd be interested to hear any thoughts from anyone.
and
'What's so special about preaching?' by David Jackman
This challenged the way that I think about preaching and helped me idenitfy some of the ways in which my attitude towards it is influenced by 21st century culture rather than the bible. Food for thought two weeks before I start my apprenticeship at Christ Church Bromley but also really helpful as someone who hears the word preached each sunday.
Finally, I discovered that Mark Dever from Capitol Hill Baptist Church (which I seem to remember Will Timmins spent a few months working at) has preached overviews of every single book of the bible. And, they are all available to download free: Old Testament and New Testament. This is the sort of thing that makes me excited so I thought I'd better share it
Yes Mark Dever is rather good. You can buy those sermons in book form on Amazon did you know?
