Sermons shape us. Sometimes they shape us because the preaching is excellent. Sometimes they shape us because the timing is right, and the preacher says exactly what we need to hear. And sometimes they shape us in spite of the preacher, because “the Word of God is not bound” (2 Tim. 2:9). If God’s Word is a sharp sword (Heb. 4:12), it can cut even when wielded by a novice.

Both H. B. Charles and John Piper are skilled and experienced preachers, but they trust in the sharpness of God’s Word rather than their own swordsmanship. That fact comes through in their discussions of the sermons that shaped their lives.

“The Most Practical and Engaging Book on Christian Living Apart from the Bible”

“If you’re going to read just one book on Christian living and how the gospel can be applied in your life, let this be your book.”—Elisa dos Santos, Amazon reviewer.

In this book, seasoned church planter Jeff Vanderstelt argues that you need to become “gospel fluent”—to think about your life through the truth of the gospel and rehearse it to yourself and others.

We’re delighted to offer the Gospel Fluency: Speaking the Truths of Jesus into the Everyday Stuff of Life ebook (Crossway) to you for FREE today. Click this link to get instant access to a resource that will help you apply the gospel more confidently to every area of your life.
