[M]y prayer is that now more than ever, those who stand behind the sacred desk would recover the vanishing art of expository preaching. The church is always looking for better methods in order to reach the world. But God is looking for better men who will devote themselves to His biblically mandated method for advancing His kingdom, namely, preaching - and not just any kind of preaching, but expository preaching.

This being so, nothing could be more relevant for preachers in this hour - a time when fads and gimmicks seem to be hypnotizing church leaders - than to revisit the pulpit power of the Genevan Reformer. May a new generation of expositors arise to embrace his core distinctives in their preaching ministries.
