“Dear friends,

At Easter, we’re reminded of the central task of preaching the gospel—God’s message about Jesus for his glory and our salvation. But this isn’t just a seasonal call; as Paul charged Timothy, preaching is an ongoing task, in season and out (2 Tim 4:2).

In this edition of the ACR, we focus on the preaching task with:

• Survey results from Sydney Anglican rectors on Sunday preaching frequency
• Reflections by Charles Cleworth on the survey and the biblical call to preach
• Nathan Walter on the necessity of expository preaching
• James Russell’s essay on John Stott’s influence on Sydney preaching
• An interview with Alistair Begg on his preaching ministry
• Historical insights on J. C. Ryle by Andrew Atherstone
• The continuation of a discussion between Andrew Heard and Lionel Windsor
• A thought-provoking piece by Seumas Macdonald on a theology of church decline
• Plus, book reviews, interviews with Dave Jensen and Jeanette Chin, and more.

We hope this edition encourages and equips you to keep preaching the word faithfully.

God bless,
Mike Leite
Editorial Director, ACR.”
