Featured Preaching Theology

I sat under John Piper for 10 years and he preached theology all the time.

 

'The people' love to hear the sensationalism of Dispensationalism. It's very entertaining compared to theology, so, some preachers (maybe most) are going to feed the flock the sensationalism they desire. 'The people' want to be entertained? So be it!

 

Come to think of it, I’ve rarely heard theology preached.
Theology can be rather analytical and “heady”, appreciated by those that are more academically inclined.
IMO, people today bend toward preaching aimed more toward application. (Not saying theology doesn’t include application, only that shorter sermons emphasize one over the other).

I do remember a series on the attributes of God, I got a lot out of that and enjoyed it so much!

That's why Joel Osteen is so popular. "Your best life now!!!"

 

Only prob

our best life is not now

 

Not familiar with Scott Memorial Baptist Church in San Diego, though I know San Diego, I was there for 57 years... Our Primitive Baptist Church was one mile from Greenwood Memorial Mortuary... San Diego was my stopping ground and all I can remember that our church taught was Christ and him crucified and I have never been in an Old Line Primitive Baptist Church where they never taught doctrines of the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the natures in Christ, original sin , different views on baptism or refuting cults... The problem is you been in the wrong church... Our preachers, preached the whole counsel of God... In all my time in church I was fed sheep food not by the preacher that prepared it, but by God, who prepared the food and the messenger who delivered it... There is Deity and Duty preaching... What the LORD has done for us and how we should walk the walk of faith, to praise him for the blessing... Brother Glen

 

You would have to listen to his entire Romans or Hebrews series.

 

I cannot recall at the drop of a hat every sermon or every Theological point taught. Are you attempting to say that he is not as astute or theologically deep as you because you have taught these things and maybe he did not mention every point that you mention?

 

They’ve got medicines to cure that, ya know.

Being a theologian is one thing, preaching to the congregation is another... You use those highfalutin jargon in our church, there will be a lot of members heading to the exit and I will lead the way... Brother Glen

 

Yup.

 

I'm sure he taught on that. He took 10 years to do Romans. He did not skip anything.

But using that word is meaningless. No one needs to know what that word refers to. Not a comment against you. Just a comment in general against big words that no one uses.

However, he did explain words that are in the bible.
Propitiation
Righteousness
Justification
Satisfaction

and concepts that are clearly biblical.

Penal Substitution
Justification by Faith

 

Don't preach everything under the sun... PREACH THE SON!... Brother Glen
