Darrin Patrick – The Work of an Evangelist

Last updated on: February 6, 2013 at 3:17 am By Adrian Warnock

We are told to be humble but confident. We are told of the sovereignty of God, and our responsibility. We are to do the work of an evangelist but Jesus saves. How can we possibly help dead people become alive? We can’t but Jesus can. We have come up with many ways to do evangelism. 1. Attractionalism 2. Legalism 3. Individualism 4. Culturalism 5. Relationalism How are we meant to do this thing? Acts 16. 1. Appropriately contextualise. Not over-... Read more

John Piper on George Herbert

Last updated on: January 15, 2018 at 2:23 pm By Adrian Warnock

Surgeons can do their works without words. Pastors can’t. But the great aims of our work are not decisively brought about by our word but by God. But the way we use words matters. The content clarity and spirit in which we use words are critical. George Herbert emphasised the poetic nature of much of God’s communication in the Bible. Paul planted. Apollos watered. God gave the growth. The way you plant and water makes a difference. Herbert chose preaching... Read more

Tope Koleoso on Sovereign grace, spiritual gifts and the pastor

Last updated on: October 14, 2025 at 3:55 pm By Adrian Warnock

The shepherd has to know who to handle the sovereign grace of God and spiritual gifts. It can be done. It should be done. It must be done. These are not optional. Tope explained he is standing on the shoulders of men like Terry Virgo, Jack Hayford and John Piper. Why would anyone be hesitant, cautious, resistant to the Holy Spirit? It comes down to fear. I am careful not to despise prophecy but I do recognise nonsense. Sometimes people... Read more

Jason Meyer on succeeding John Piper as pastor

Last updated on: January 15, 2018 at 2:23 pm By Adrian Warnock

Here are my notes on Jason Meyer’s talk entitled “Pastoral Transition after a 32 year ministry.” Beware of copying strategy. Strategy and supernatural are not opposed to each other. We can use chariots and horses but we must not trust in them. Paul came in weakness fear and trembling which would not get him good marks in a preaching class! Gods thoughts are not our thoughts. We must trust him with all our hearts. When asked by Piper if he... Read more

Liberating ministry from the success syndrome – Kent Hughes

Last updated on: February 5, 2013 at 3:18 am By Adrian Warnock

Here are my notes from tonight’s talk at the DGM pastors conference. You don’t need to be extraordinary to be in ministry just called. Can a man be a success in the ministry and pastor a small church? What is failure in the ministry? What is success in the ministry? Secular thinking puts a number on everything. 1. No place in the Bible where God’s servants are called to be successful but rather faithful. You can be hugely successful in... Read more

Preach and pray, love and stay – Mark Dever

Last updated on: February 4, 2013 at 8:29 pm By Adrian Warnock

Here are a few notes from the pre conference session which just ended entitled “The disciple making pastor” by Mark Dever Matt 28 & 1 Peter 5 Jesus is The Senior Pastor Like Jesus a good pastor lays down his life for his sheep. How should pastors do this? 1. Preach Making disciples doesn’t only happen one to one. Many churches are orthodox on paper and dead in practice. We must give ourselves to preaching and not programs. The heart... Read more

Help us make a documentary on the life of Spurgeon

Last updated on: June 27, 2018 at 11:04 pm By Adrian Warnock

A few weeks ago, Steve McCaskell approached me with an interesting idea to crowd source funding for a full-length high-quality documentary on the life of Spurgeon. He had already raised almost $9,000 on his first crowd-source funding to support the publication of a book of Spurgeon quotes, Through the Eyes of Spurgeon. Crowd sourced funding is simply a way to take the financial risk out of big projects like manufacturing a new product, or in this case producing a film... Read more

I’m here at the Desiring God conference .

Prophetic Encouragement – fulfilling your destiny in God

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 10:12 am By Adrian Warnock

Yesterday I preached a remixed version of a sermon i have preached before on Barnabas. I found myself getting all Pentecostal! So if you want the orderly version and a set of notes for this talk, read the old version. If on the other hand, you want to hear what happened when I found myself preaching in The Perfecting Church, a growing, lively church in New Jersey you can listen to the new version here. Here are a couple of... Read more

God wants to bless you! Tope Koleoso in St Louis

Last updated on: February 3, 2013 at 7:01 pm By Adrian Warnock

You would think I hear Tope preaching enough, but here I am sitting in my host’s house here in New Jersey watching some of this video from this morning’s service in Jubilee Church St Louis where Tope was preaching. It’s well worth watching, he preaches on how to receive God’s blessing. God loves you and wants to, and is eager to bless you! Tope’s main points were: Being blessed starts with obedience It is advanced by faith It involves sacrifice... Read more
