- A Case for Slightly Longer Sermons from Mikey Lynch (The Gospel Coalition) and How Long, O Lord? On Not Preaching Shorter from Andrew Heard (The Gospel Coalition – in response to a recent article advocating shorter sermons, these articles advocate longer sermons (In my view, a variety of factors, including the makeup of the congregation and the gifts of the preacher, should determine sermon length.)

Edward Copeland (9 Marks) – listening to preachers outside of your tribe; responding to people after preaching; going to the pulpit without clarity; the difference between expository and verse-by-verse preaching; the length of preaching portions; listening to others preach on your text
