9Marks of a Healthy Church

by Mar 7, 2008Uncategorized

Here are links to Mark Dever’s nine sermons on the 9 Marks of a Healthy Church. I recently saw Mark Minnick, my pastor, recommend this material in Frontline. And I myself have been listening to Dever’s interviews and deeply profiting from them for several years now.

Mark 1: Expositional Preaching

Mark 2: Biblical Theology

Mark 3: Biblical Understanding of the Good News

Mark 4: Biblical Understanding of Conversion

Mark 5: Biblical Understanding of Evangelism

Mark 6: Biblical Understanding of Church Membership

Mark 7: Biblical Church Discipline

Mark 8: Promotion of Christian Discipleship and Growth

Mark 9: Biblical Understanding of Leadership

I collected these links for my friend, Dave Crook (864.254.8654). If you need a cheap, full-color, T-shirt, contact him! You won’t be sorry. Mt. Calvary just bought 200 shirts from him through me, and full-color cost less than the black-and-white I was planning on!

Introduction to the New Testament for Bibles International

I wrote the following introduction to the New Testament for Bibles International; it is being translated and placed into Bibles all around the world. The Bible tells one story, because God has one plan for all of history (Isa. 46:9–10; Gal. 4:4–6). The 27 books of the...
