Welcome to the preaching ministry of James Detwiler, former Lead Pastor of First Baptist Church of Beverly Hills. The purpose of preaching is to proclaim biblical truth (namely, the gospel of Jesus Christ). It’s an endeavor of the heart and mind – the former because God’s Spirit engages the audience and preacher on a visceral, emotional level, and the latter because scripture, God’s word, is “exposed” so that the audience may engage the material intellectually.
