Josh Harris recently started a series of blog posts entitled “Preaching Notes” in which he’ll post PDFs of the notes that some preachers use while preaching. The lineup currently includes Mark Dever, Mike Bullmore, C. J. Mahaney, Ray Ortlund Jr., and Tim Keller.
Earlier this week he posted Mark Dever’s manuscript, and today he posted Mike Bullmore’s. Thanks to Josh for giving me the privilege of introducing my pastor!

My pastor, Dr. Mike Bullmore, is currently preaching through 1 Corinthians, and this morning he finished a sensitive, insightful, pastorally wise exposition of chapter 7.
- Marriage in God’s World (April 13, 2008)
- A Oneness That Glorifies God (1 Cor 7:1–7) (April 20, 2008)
- Glorifying God in Challenging Marital Situations (1 Cor 7:8–16, 39–40) (April 27, 2008)
- To Marry or Not to Marry: Singleness and the Glory of God (Part 1) (May 4, 2008)
- To Marry or Not to Marry (Part 2) (May 18, 2008)
Today’s sermon (#5 above) is particularly outstanding. Its target audience is older teenagers and their parents, but it is especially applicable to singles in their 20s, 30s, 40s, etc. Bullmore gives two reminders followed by five statements summarizing biblical priorities in preparing for marriage. Highly recommended!

Mike Bullmore’s preaching is like a combination of John Piper and C. J. Mahaney! More of his MP3s are available here, here, and here.
