The following sermon is by John MacArthur, pastor, author, and Bible teacher with Grace to You.

If you've never contacted Grace to you, we want to send you a free booklet by John called How to Prepare for Christ's Return.

The Bible says to fix your hope on the Lord's return, but until Christ comes back, how should you spend your days?

This booklet answers that important question.

Request your free copy of How to Prepare for Christ's return by writing to prepare at gty.org.

That's prepare at gty.org. This offer is good in North America and Europe through December 2025, and now unleashing God's

truth one verse at a time.

Here is Grace to you Bible teacher John MacArthur.

As we come together, I have a grave and sobering sense of responsibility for what has fallen to me as the duty to give

focus to this conference. I felt months and months ago that since this was 20-20, that was

a perfect metaphor for clear vision. And we needed to make sure that we had

that vision when it came to divine truth and sound doctrine. So I want this to be a very

clarifying few days together, not only what you will hear, but resources that you will be given and resources

that you will acquire over in the big tent will help to clarify divine truth so that your

ministry is in fact a ministry in focus with clarity.

I want to start by having you look with me at Psalm 19.

Through the years and all over the globe, as I have traveled and preached, I have very often

started ministry in a new country, a new city, in a new language by going to Psalm 19.

And particularly starting at verse 7, the law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul.

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart.

The commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes.
