How do you respond to criticism?
How should a pastor decide what to preach?

Whoa! Thanks so much!
I didn’t catch zhubert.com in the resources. That is a must use online resource for studying Greek. Thanks for this great list!
Good post. I was a bit surprised that you didn’t include Dr. James White’s sermon prep notes. They are quite interesting.

I think you have either overlooked or may not know about the work of the Charles Simeon Trust based out of Chicago and a ministry of Holy Trinity Church. David Helm is the Executive Director. They are doing some key work w/ some key players on expository preaching in Chicago and all over the country. See http://www.simeontrust.org. Contact Robert Kinney or Scott Polender for more information.
