Ray C. Stedman was one of the great Bible teachers of the twentieth century.
Ray's primary teaching method was expository preaching, systematically teaching through entire books of the Bible. This style enabled the Christian to build up a broad base of biblical knowledge from which the Holy Spirit could draw upon in daily life. It was very important to Ray that Christians become personally well grounded in the whole breadth of the Bible.
Ray was very conscious of the need for individual Christians to grow and flourish and some of his chief themes (the new covenant, body life and the ministry of the saints) reflect practical aspects of vibrant Christian life. He was also a strong proponent of a plurality of pastors and a non-hierarchical style of church government since all believers have spiritual gifts.
From 1948 to 1990, Ray was one of the key leaders at Peninsula Bible Church and the explosive growth of that church during that time was largely due to the power of Ray's teaching.
Although Ray went home to the Lord in 1992, his messages continue to have world wide impact as thousands of people use the resources of this web site daily. At this site, you can find a large collection of Ray's messages in both audio and written format as well as more biographical information. Many of Ray Stedman's books and all of his messages are available from Discovery Publishing.
