Jesus says, “Serve others.”
The world says, “Forgive yourself.”

Today, John MacArthur entered into the presence of the Lord, whom he faithfully served for over half a century.
There aren’t enough words to describe the impact he’s had on my life—his unwavering commitment to the truth, bold expository preaching, and love for the church shaped not only my theology but my very walk with Christ. Through his sermons, books, and steadfast shepherding, he taught us to treasure the Word of God and stand firm in grace.
Please pray for his dear wife Patricia and the entire MacArthur family, for Grace Community Church, and for all of us mourning such a profound loss.
Though our hearts ache, we do not grieve as those without hope (1 Thess. 4:13). Pastor John is now beholding the glory of Christ, the One he preached with such conviction and joy.
“Well done, good and faithful servant… Enter into the joy of your master” (Matthew 25:21).
Thank you, John. Soli Deo Gloria.
