Tim Keller, Tim Keller, Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York, came to Oak Hill for a half-day conference on 19 November 2008. He gave two lectures on Preaching to the heart.
Jonathan Edwards believed that the ultimate purpose of preaching is not only to make the truth clear, but also to make it real – affecting and life-changing.…
Our temptation is to be excessively impatient with others and to demand instant growth and change. For those in leadership at any level, you know what I am talking about.
