Bryan Chapell (born 18 November 1954) is an American pastor and theologian who currently serves as the Stated Clerk of the Presbyterian Church in America.
[7] Chapell now hosts a daily half-hour radio Bible teaching program called "Unlimited Grace," which began airing in 2016 both nationally and internationally.
In addition to daily, national broadcasts, Unlimited Grace conducts ministry through three websites: 1) Unlimitedgrace.com for those seeking resources from the Unlimited Grace broadcast ministry that daily airs on the Salem Radio Network in major American cities; Christcenteredpreaching.com, making available seminary-level preaching courses for pastors and those in pastoral training around the world (in multiple languages) with an emphasis on preparing expository messages true to the redemptive message pervading all Scripture; and, Bryanchapell.com, providing a free, comprehensive archive of Bryan Chapell’s sermons, interviews, teachings, and writings.
In this now-standard homiletics text, Chapell explains how the grace of God that culminates in the ministry of Jesus Christ pervades all of Scripture.
Chapell helps preachers see this grace by showing how individual, biblical texts invariably have a "Fallen Condition Focus" (FCF): "the mutual human condition that contemporary believers share with those for or by whom the text was written that requires the grace of the passage to manifest God's glory in his people.
The redemptive perspective of Christ-centered Preaching is intended to motivate mature believers, while at the same time providing a clarification of, and longing for, the gospel for new or non-believers.
In his roles as a preacher, teacher, and author, Bryan Chapell has preached and lectured in seminaries, universities, churches, and conferences in many nations.
He has provided individual lectureships in scores of additional theological institutions and preached sermons in hundreds of churches across the world.
