EXPOSITORY PREACHING TRUST

EXPOSITORY PREACHING TRUST

Welcome!

We pray this site might enrich and spiritually encourage you as a preacher or hearer of God’s word.

For over 40 years, God has used the ministry of David Cook to strengthen the faith of His people through expository preaching, and to train thousands of other preachers to do the same. This site, and the Expository Preaching Trust behind it, seeks to make David’s ministry and resources more accessible.

David has a deep commitment to the power of the word of God, the sword of the Holy Spirit, to save the lost and to feed the church. For this reason, David has a particular passion to see pastors preaching carefully, engagingly, and with clear application for everyday living.

You might like to watch one of the free videos on our Books & Sermons page, or listen to a sermon or sermon series. David’s books are written with preachers and Christian leaders in mind, but also make excellent Bible study material.

Please do feel free to contact us if you have suggestions about ways this site might better serve you.

In service of Christ,
David Burge
Chairman
Expository Preaching Trust.
