John MacArthur

Today Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, CA celebrated 40 years of John MacArthur’s pastoral ministry in her midst. As a young Christian, I found MacArthur’s expository preaching and writing to be very helpful, especially on the exclusivity of Jesus Christ and the importance of faith being worked out in practical obedience to Christ’s teaching. MacArthur has been particularly helpful to many pastors with his emphasis on faithfulness to God rather than concern for worldly reputation or numerical markers. MacArthur has said many times that if the pastor focuses on the depth of the ministry, God will take care of the breadth. And that there are healthy churches in all sizes (small, medium, and large). I am glad God has expanded the impact of John MacArthur for the good of the church and the glory of His Son.
