Segment 1

• Expository preaching is drifting toward dry, academic lectures instead of soul-stirring truth.

• Modern sermons often explain grammar and context but fail to spotlight Jesus.

• The goal isn’t just to educate minds but to ignite hearts with the beauty of Christ.

Segment 2

• Too many pulpits aim for precision but miss power—biblical preaching should pierce the heart.

• Reformers preached experientially, not mechanically—90% application, 10% exegesis.

• Every sermon must ask: “Does this help me love Christ more?”

Segment 3

• In 1805, missionaries signed the Serampore Agreement—still reshaping missions today.

• Carey called us to treasure lost souls and learn their world to reach their hearts.

• If we don’t understand Gen Z’s language and idols, we’ll fail to evangelize them.

Segment 4

• Tim Challies reviews John Mark Comer’s latest book—filled with mystical practices and a deficient gospel.

• Comer trades “Jesus crucified” for “live like Jesus”—but behavior can’t save.

• When mindfulness replaces repentance, the church loses the real gospel.
