The Faithful Expositor

Bro. Jono decided, just hours before mounting the pulpit, that he was going to handwrite a new manuscript. This is not a common practice, and comes only at the Holy Spirit's prompting. So when is this appropriate? Jono discusses that thought process with Ryan and Tyler now. Always be ready for the Holy Spirit to change direction on you!

Too many church and believers today think that walking an aisle, or saying a prayer will save you...but that's not what Jesus has called us to and the bible speaks to that very clearly. Listen to Jono, Ryan, and Tyler dissect what it means to be biblically saved. Bro. Jono's sermon on this topic can be found on our website and we highly encourage you to listen to it in full!

In reading through the bible in a year, Bro. Jono was struck this time by Uzziah being crippled by his own pride. After sharing his quiet time revelations with his staff, he wanted to sit down with Bro. Ryan and talk about how we should all learn from King Uzziah's example, and make sure Gospel Humility is our aim in ministry.

There aren't many issues in the church today that are more divisive than spiritual gifts, specifically, "speaking in tongues". Scripture is pretty clear on what this gift entails, however, and Bro. Jono unpacks his sermon on that with Bro. Ryan.

Bro. Jono wanted to do a podcast on the impact that John MacArthur had on his ministry, and modern Baptist Expositional ministry in general. The influence this man had will be felt for generations to come. We thank God for everything he did and rejoice that he is with his savior today!

Here is the sermon that Jono mentions as being Pastor MacArthur's most impactful to him:
