In his book by this title, Jay Y. Kim argues convincingly

• The speed of the digital age has made us impatient. 
  
• The choices of the digital age have made us shallow. 
  
• The individualism of the digital age has made us isolated.
  

Those values do not promote disciple-making; in fact, they impede it. In short, digital informs; analog transforms. At The Assembly, we prioritize the in-person gathering of God’s people for worship (Heb10:25) and cherish the liberating and transformational potential of the Spirit’s presence (2Co3:17-18).

At a time when the world is changing rapidly, The Assembly is strategically positioned to develop a culturally responsive discipleship program that will prepare our children and youth for Spirit-empowered service and leadership in a post-coronavirus, 21st-century world. Our property is debt-free, and our congregation is following the call of God to securely pass the baton of effective ministry to a core membership of younger families who are committed to building on the foundation that has been laid “with gold, silver, and precious stones” (1Co3:11-13). 

In his now-classic textbook on the subject, Haddon W. Robinson offers the following definition:

“Expository preaching is the communication of a biblical concept or an extended portion of Scripture, arrived from and transmitted through a historical, grammatical, and literary study of a passage in its context, which the Holy Spirit first applied to the personality and experience of the preacher, then through him [or her] to his hearers.”

At The Assembly, we strive for accurate handling of the word of truth (2Ti2:15) by giving preference to expository preaching.
