Doctrine in Sermons

Connecting John MacArthur’s Preaching with the Doctrinal Convictions of the Family of Ministries

The John MacArthur Charitable Trust family of ministries not only share a common belief in the absolute authority of God’s Word, they also share a common set of convictions about what the Bible teaches.

In recent years, members of the MacArthur family of ministries—Grace to You, The Master’s University and Seminary, and The Master’s Academy International—have aligned their doctrinal statements. So, if you want to know specifically what any of the family of ministries teaches about a particular doctrine, you can read the same doctrinal statement on each of the websites associated with each ministry.

Of course, the biblical convictions outlined in this doctrinal statement have been taught for decades by John MacArthur. In sermons through the years, he’s made a biblical case for each conviction listed in this document.
