Download or read book On the Other Side of the Pulpit God Is Still Real written by S. Neal Kendall and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2021-02 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind every great man is a great woman. This idiom applies to great ministers. Here is another idiom: Before every great preacher is a soloist. Before Dwight Moody there was Ira Sankey. Before Billy Graham there was George Beverly Shea. Before Dr. Dallas Billington there was Neal Kendall. This book is not about me. Its about a country preacher, Dallas F. Billington, who stood behind the pulpit and described the horrors of hell and that the only way to escape hell is, you must accept Christ. This book was written to show that it is possible for a man of God to uphold his Christian standards. He had the same message when he was out of the pulpit living his daily life through this sinful world, or behind the pulpit preaching the word of God. I was able to catch glimpses of those occasions, as I traveled with him to sing, at evangelistic meetings and various church and senior citizens dedications. Preacher's theme was to, "Win the Lost at any Cost," either from behind the pulpit or on the other side. Shirley Neal Kendall's professional job was in the plastics industry. He assumed the titles of Technical Director and Laboratory Manager. His career led him to Brussels, Belgium, and he became Executive Director of European Operations. He also served as an expert witness in court proceedings.His company sent him to Belgium to build two plants. However, it became clear that God sent him there to build a church. It was estimated that 25,000 English speaking people resided in Brussels and did not have a church home because the language in the churches was either French or Flemish. An English-speaking church was established, and Neal taught the adult Bible class until they hired two full time Baptist ministers. He taught Bible classes in Brussels, in Anniston, Alabama, and at the Akron Baptist Temple. His first love has been quartet singing and close harmony. He was also a featured soloist at The Akron Baptist Temple.
Download or read book A Stranger in the House of God written by John Koessler and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-08-30 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

Download or read book The Heart of the Preacher written by Rick Reed and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can teach the craft, but you must first form the heart. Many preachers want to preach better, but they don't always know how to go about improving, and most books on preaching focus on the mechanics of the craft. But preaching involves more than the steps from a text to a sermon, because every time a preacher stands up to preach, their character shines through—for better or for worse. In The Heart of the Preacher, Rick Reed focuses on the personal heart preparation required before any preacher is ready to preach. He explores issues preachers often wrestle with—like discouragement, insecurity, and pride. He then offers practices to fight these challenges and form a heart that carries the fruit of the Spirit into the pulpit. It takes more than a good speaker to preach. It takes a Spirit-filled person. This book will help you check your heart and cultivate the most important aspect of preaching: your character.

Download or read book Creation Crisis Preaching written by Leah D. Schade and published by Chalice Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we proclaim justice for God's Creation in the face of global warming? How does fracking fit with "the earth and its fullness are the Lord's?" Creation-Crisis Preaching works with the premise that all of Creation, including humankind, needs to hear the Good News of Jesus' resurrection in this age in which humanity is "crucifying" Creation. Informed by years of experience as an environmental activist and minister, Leah Schade equips preachers to interpret the Bible through a "green" lens, become rooted in environmental theology, and learn how to understand their preaching context in terms of the particular political, cultural, and biotic setting of their congregation. Creation-Crisis Preaching provides both theoretical grounding and practical tips for preachers to create environmental sermons that are relevant, courageous, creative, pastoral, and inspiring.
Download or read book Making Your Way to the Pulpit written by Jerrilee Parker Lewallen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-10-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Your Way to the Pulpit is a book for beginning preachers, for preachers who will never have a seminary course called "homiletics" (the art of preaching), for preachers who studied homiletics with William Hethcock and want a review, and for all preachers who are looking for a tested, reliable approach to sermon preparation. In short, this is a book for those who preach regularly or occasionally and would like a clear guide for making their way to the pulpit. At the School of Theology (SofT), University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, the Rev. Dr. William H. Hethcock directed field education from 1979 to 1985 and taught homiletics from 1985 until his retirement in 1997. After retiring, he continued to teach homiletics on semester contracts at the SofT and the Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS). He remains active as a teacher, speaker on the subject of preaching, and preacher. Assimilating the work of other scholars, Hethcock developed his own process for approaching sermon preparation on a weekly basis. This book summarizes and describes the Hethcock method. When followed, his process reliably gets the preacher to the pulpit with a biblical proclamation that resonates with individuals in today's congregations.
