Advance Conference- Bryan Chapell

Bryan Chapell is the President of Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO. He spoke on the topic of "Communicating the Gospel Through Preaching". Here are some notes from his session:

If Christ's teaching becomes secondary, something has taken its place.

We often let culture determine what grace means. Grace is the fuel of holiness.

All scripture can be classified into four categories:
1. Predicting the coming of Christ
2. Preparing the coming of Christ
3. Reflecting the coming of Christ
4. Results of the coming of Christ

Every passage should prompt us to ask "how does this show the grace of God through Jesus Christ?". Excavate grace from all the scripture.

Ask two questions of any text:
1. What does the text tell me about God?
2. What does the text tell me about me?
