Download or read book How to Hear the Preaching of God s Word with Profit written by Stephen Egerton and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this treatise, Egerton demonstrates the Christian’s duty in hearing the word of God preached. In the first chapter he shows what it means to “take heed” in hearing the word following what Christ said, “Take heed therefore how ye hear,” (Luke 8:18). Then, he gives general duties in chapter 2 in relationship to preparations that ought to be made before coming to hear the sermon. Chapter 3 deals with what the hearer ought to do while hearing the sermon. And chapter 4 deals with the duties of the Christian after the sermon. Egerton takes a simplistic and manageable approach to teaching Christians what is required by Christ in hearing the Word of God preached. He is quite comprehensive to remind the believer of the most important aspects of the truth in his doctrine as it relates to the preached word. Egerton has a vivid, masterful grasp of his matter, and dissects the doctrine of hearing the word preached in a catechistic manner through questions and thorough answers. Since God is speaking to the Christian in the preached word by all true ministers, that the minister’s mouth is God’s mouth in the act of preaching, one would do quite well to heed Rev. Egerton’s application of Christ’s exhortations to hear what God is saying to us rightly, biblically, and for the good of our souls. This work is not a scan or facsimile, has been carefully transcribed by hand being made easy to read in modern English, and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

Download or read book Preaching to Be Heard written by Lucas O'Neill and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If a sermon is preached in a church and no one is listening, does it make a difference?" There are many expository preachers who forego dynamic delivery and many dynamic preachers who lose sight of faithfully communicating the biblical text. Too often preachers feel they have to choose one or the other. But dynamic delivery and faithful exposition are not mutually exclusive. In Preaching to Be Heard, Lucas O'Neill shows pastors that presenting engaging sermons that are biblically focused is not an impossibility. In fact, the key to commanding attention lies in the text itself. Rather than relying on tricks or gimmicks, his approach to sermon writing focuses on maintaining tension throughout while sticking close to the biblical text. Using practical examples and a step-by-step method, O'Neill shows pastors how relying on the inherent anticipation within Scripture can lead to sermons that are powerful--and heard.

Download or read book Preaching Profits written by Vashti Starr Buck and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seedtime and harvest, the money miracles of Jesus, promises of abundance, and financial blessings are at the heart of the prosperity gospel. Millions of well-meaning churchgoers have been deceived into believing that their pastors are teaching Biblical truth. When in fact, they are being taught a "doctrine of devils" (1 Timothy 4:1). In this book, Vashti proves (without a shadow of a doubt) that "preaching profits" is contrary to the Word of God. Its purpose is to debunk, disprove, and dismantle a deceptive doctrine that has led many to naively "sow" into ministries in anticipation of financial gain. Prosperity preachers should be ashamed of themselves! They have been relying on the tithes and offerings of their congregations to pay for mansions, luxury vehicles, and private jets. These pulpit pimps have mastered "crafty counsel" (Psalms 83:3) as they use emotional manipulation to convince their congregation to "sow" their money in hopes of "reaping" a financial "harvest." This is a gross perversion of the Word of God.After being broke for far too long, Vashti stumbled upon the prosperity gospel. It sounded like an answer to her prayers that could save her from financial ruin. Her initial desire was to please God, but her "itching ears" (2 Timothy 4:3) that wanted the riches of this world fell into the trap of the prosperity gospel. Vashti knows firsthand the damage that following the prosperity gospel can bring. Thankfully, The Most High God rebuked, retaught, and restored her "unto righteousness" (Romans 10:10).He prepared this trap to teach, chastise, and lead Vashti into the truth. Although the journey was rough, she maintained her cheerful and patient demeanor when she was brought down to a "low estate" (Ecclesiasticus/Sirach 2:4).Now that Vashti's on the other side, she shares her story in hopes of enlightening others who have subscribed to the prosperity gospel, either knowingly or unintentionally, to renounce it and to read the Bible without Christianity's misinterpretation of prosperity, riches, and wealth.Written with love,Visit VashtiStarrBuck.com for more information and righteous resources.

Download or read book Preaching and New Worlds written by Timothy Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays examines the polyvalent concept of "New Worlds" in the context of medieval and early modern sermon studies. While the terms "Old World" and "New World" are commonplace in studies of Europe and the Americas, this volume explores how preaching in the Atlantic world and beyond creatively engaged audiences in addressing new cultural and religious perspectives regardless of their geographical location and time period. The identification of the "other" in sermons is already an implicit recognition of a novel world, which could be equally enticing and intimidating. The scholars represented in this volume examine a wide panorama of medieval and early modern efforts as they identify how sermons, which often served as a highly effective media of mass communication, reflect shifting identities, sometimes contested and sometimes embraced, within long-standing traditional constructs. Particular themes include apocalypticism, art and mission, cultural interaction, multilingualism, forms of religious life, and theological innovation.

Download or read book Preaching written by John F. MacArthur and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2005-08-21 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many sermons preached today lack the divine knowledge and spiritual understanding available only through dynamic expository preaching. In Preaching: How to Preach Biblically, John MacArthur’' well-known passion for the Bible combines with the expertise of faculty members at The Master's Seminary to inspire and equip preachers in effective biblical preaching. Preaching: How to Preach Biblically flows from biblical foundations for expository preaching through a detailed process of developing expositions and creating sermons to the actual delivery of expository messages, connecting what pastors learn in seminary with the sermons preached in a local church. This volume shows how to progress purposefully from one phase to the next in preparing to minister to God's people through preaching. This book answers these questions and more: What is expository, biblical preaching? What are the theological and historical foundations for insisting on expository preaching? What are the steps involved in preparation for and participation in biblical preaching? What models exist for expository preaching today? The Master's Seminary faculty, with over thirty years' experience in preaching and seminary training of preachers, contributes a treasury of expertise alongside insights from expositor John MacArthur. While united on their commitment to exposition, the variety of individual expressions and methodological preferences discussed offers beneficial assistance for any preacher seeking a higher level of expository excellence.

Download or read book Practice What You Preach written by David H. Maister and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's highly competitive realm of professional service firms, the quest for individual stardom is at an all-time high. The temptation to rack up the most billable hours and out-perform one's fellow advisers is often irresistible. But it is also shortsighted and terribly counterproductive, according to world-renowned authority and acclaimed author David Maister. In this groundbreaking book, Maister issues a much-needed wake-up call to today's professional service firms. Arguing that a far greater contribution to a firm's success can come from those who find fulfilment in seeing other's succeed rather than those who assume the role of "most valuable player". The author outlines and discusses in detail the nine key "people" issues upon which successfully managed and profitable organisations rely. Supporting his findings with a range of compelling data, Maister demonstrates how and why firms that emphasise the highest standards of employee professionalism are invariably more financially successful than those that don't.
