The Master's Seminary

The Master’s Seminary is thrilled to host five expository preaching workshops throughout 2026 located in Walnut Creek, CA; Prescott, AZ; Washington D.C.; Dallas, TX; and St. Louis, MO. John MacArthur said expository preaching is “preaching in such a way that the meaning of the Bible passage is presented entirely and exactly as it was intended by God.” The goal of these preaching workshops is to help any preacher or Bible teacher, no matter his experience, do that more effectively. Each workshop looks at tools to . . . --Analyze the Text --Outline the Passage --Identify the original meaning --Organize the sermon --Use Illustrations effectively --Craft compelling introductions and conclusions For more information and to register visit macarthurcenter.org/workshop

During Shepherds Conference, we debuted a new video that features the voice of our founder, John MacArthur. It’s titled “The Highest Calling.” youtube.com/watch?v=-E2f8Z…
