Most Helpful Talks

Updating my i-pod this weekend, I noticed my little subfolder marked “favourites.” This hallowed place only contains the best of the best talks I’ve listened to this year. Here are some that I’ve found most challenging in no particular order.

* Alistair Begg – “Preach the Word!”
* Don Carson – Why Trust a Cross?, the role of an elder and lecture on the New Perspective
* Mark Dever – Promises made (overview of the OT)
* John Piper – Why expositional preaching is particularly glorifying to God, and Always singing one note (William Tyndale)
* Bryan Chapell – “the lightbearers”
* Tim Keller – “Born of the gospel” and “The Supremacy of Christ and the gospel in a postmodern world”
* RC Sproul – “The centre of Christian preaching”
* Thabiti Anyabwile – “the glory of pervasive holiness in the life of a pastor”
* Several Jeremiah sermons by my own preaching pastor, especially “The divorce court”, “Amen?”, and “At the point of no return”
