Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1888, Andrew Jenson, Danish immigrant and convert to the Mormon faith, received an unexpected invitation from church leaders to speak at their general conference. Jenson was an outsider to this conference tradition, a layman whose only standing before the main body of Latter-day Saints came from a contracted position with the Church Historian's Office. Forty-two years later, in April 1930, Jenson offered his twenty-eighth and final general conference sermon. He had become the voice of institutional record keeping in his over forty-year career as an Assistant Church Historian. His sermons demonstrated the growth and expansion of the Mormon general conference tradition in the twentieth century, as they placed the Latter-day Saint story front and center for church members to learn from and celebrate. In addition, Jenson urged conference goers to keep better personal and institutional records and believed he was often the solitary advocate for church record keeping and historical preservation. A Voice in the Wilderness presents all twenty-eight of Andrew Jenson's general conference sermons, with introductions and annotations that set them within their historical and religious contexts. His speeches capture a unique period in Mormon history, one of institutional change, accommodation, and growth. This study of Jenson's sermons uncovers the richness and diversity that thrives just beneath the surface of official ecclesiastical discourse.

Download or read book 1893 General Conference Session Sermons and Special Reports written by A. Jones and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 80 plus messages from a preseason Ministerial Institute and the Session proper-over 400,000 words. THE thirtieth session of the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference was held at Battle Creek, Michigan over a four and one-half week period from January 27 through March 6, 1893. A Ministerial Institute occupied the first three weeks. This General Conference Session, with its special Ministerial Institute, was removed only five years from the controversial 1888 Session in Minneapolis. That earlier session was noteworthy for the strong emphasis on righteousness by faith by two of its presenters- A T. Jones and E. J. Waggoner. Their messages (unfortunately not recorded or published) were highly praised by the Lord's Messenger, Ellen G. White. Also unfortunately, there was stubborn resistance on the part of some leaders to that emphasis. The servant of the Lord made it clear that God wanted to, and had started to, pour out the Latter Rain upon His people. In 1896, three years after this present GC Session, Ellen White wrote that the light of the loud cry that was to have lightened the whole earth was resisted and rejected by us in 1888. See Selected Messages, book 1, 234-235. These troubling events still weighed heavily on the minds of many of the presenters at this present session. Several of them made reference to their concerns. "Now when I think that for four years we have been in the time of the latter rain, and that God has wanted to pour out his Spirit that these gifts might be restored, that his work might go with power; and that he wishes us to join gladly in the work and cooperate with him with the whole heart, it occurs to me that we have been the hands that have been holding on and the feet that wouldn't go; and rather than tear the whole body to pieces the body has waited. "So we are told that we are years behind; and if some of the hands had not held on, and some of the feet had not refused to go, so that the body could not move without tearing it to pieces, the body would have gone right along these four years. But rather than tear out a limb and leave it by the wayside- that means you and me- and so this four years' course be marked all the way by these parts of the body scattered along over the course, -rather than do that, the Lord in great mercy has let the body wait, so that we should not be torn out and be left by the wayside. But the body is going on now; and I say, Let every hand, and every foot, and every member be ready to go, that the body be not torn asunder. That is what the Lord wants to do, and he is going to do it now: and he has warned us and told us of it for four years." W. W. Prescott, "The Promise of the Holy Spirit." The major presenters were as follows: 1. J. H. Durland, two presentations on "Fellowship with Christ," and a Sabbath Sermon. 2. S. N. Haskell, five lessons on "The Study of the Bible," and six on "Missions and Missionary Work." 3. A T. Jones, twenty-four presentations on "The Third Angel's Message." 4. J. N. Loughborough, five lessons on "The Study of the Testimonies." 5. O. A Olsen, three presentations on "The Ministry." 6. W. W. Prescott, twelve presentations on "The Promise of the Holy Spirit." 7. R. C. Porter, six presentations on "The Mind of Christ." 8. R. A Underwood, six lessons on "The Recognition of Christ's Ownership and Our Redemption." Included are two special communications from Ellen White in Australia, and a letter from E. J. Waggoner from his post in London, England. There are a number of other special reports. We will be blessed, and encouraged as we study the messages of these faithful leaders of bygone days. These leaders are of our past, but their messages are even more relevant today as we search our lives and hearts for anything and everything that lies between us and that long looked-for latter rain and the finishing of God's work in our hearts and the world at large.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this addition to the new Working Preacher Books series, prolific author William H. Willimon makes the compelling case that two key pastoral tasks--preaching and leadership--complement, correct, strengthen, and inform one another. Preaching is the distinctive function of pastoral leaders. Leadership of the church, particularly during a challenging time of transition in mainline Protestantism, has become a pressing concern for pastors. This book shows how the practices, skills, and intentions of Christian preaching can be helpful to the leadership of a congregation. It will also show how leadership is an appropriate expectation for sermons. In preaching, pastoral leaders can help a congregation face its problems and coordinate its God-given resources to address those problems. Sermons can be an opportunity to articulate, motivate, and orchestrate God's people in doing God's work in the church and in the world. Leading with the Sermon includes chapters on why pastors must be leaders, why preaching is such an essential task in telling the truth about the gospel, how preaching makes better leaders, and how better leaders make better preachers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Warren Wiersbe, The Supremacy of God in Preaching "calls us back to a biblical standard for preaching, a standard exemplified by many of the pulpit giants of the past, especially Jonathan Edwards and Charles Spurgeon." This newly revised and expanded edition is an essential guide for preachers who want to stir the embers of revival. Piper has added valuable new material reflecting on his thirty-three years of preaching at Bethlehem Baptist Church, offering a glimpse of what a lifetime of putting God first has done for the faith of the hundreds of thousands who have heard him preach over the years.
