The Effects of Preaching: Things Unseen with Sinclair B. Ferguson

Summary

The sermon discusses the true nature of biblical preaching, contrasting ephemeral fads with the enduring standard of scriptural exposition in the Holy Spirit's power. Citing Jonathan Edwards and C.S. Lewis, it emphasizes that effective preaching awakens genuine affections by presenting truth, leading hearers to worship, surrender, and obedience rather than feeling pressured or instructed on how to feel. The ultimate takeaway is that God's Word itself, when preached correctly, works to lift people up to God and inspire worship.
