Mastering the Art of Preaching Long and Short Passages

Preachers of sequential expository preaching often prefer specific lengths of Scripture passages. Some, like Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, delve deeply into narrow sections of text. For instance, Lloyd-Jones spent eight years delivering 232 sermons on the book of Ephesians. Beginning this series at Westminster Chapel in London in 1954, he concluded it in 1962. He preached two entire sermons on the first two words of Ephesians 2:4, and one of them is the most impactful sermon I've ever heard.
