Book excerpt: This book is a preaching study guide for those interested in learning about the ways in which some of the mechanics of preaching have changed. Although the book admittedly has leanings toward the African American Protestant faith community (because so few books on the mechanics of preaching have been written with it in mind), the mechanics of preaching discussed in this book apply to all preachers, regardless of ethnicity. It is simply a matter of applying them to fit one's context. This study guide is offered for use in the classroom, by pastors to train their preachers, and for all who desire to strengthen their preaching skills. If you want to use the mechanics of preaching effectively in the 21st century, this book is your road map.
Download or read book The Renewal of Preaching in the Twenty first Century Second Edition written by David J. Randolph and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-07-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep Faith Meets High Tech here in The Renewal of Preaching in the Twenty-first Century. A communications revolution is sweeping through the churches leaving some on fire and others burned out. This work shows what makes the difference for church leaders and communities who are using new media to advance Christian preaching. Join them by recovering the great tradition and expanding it through creative use encouraged by artists and filmmakers as well as preachers and professors. This work explores ways to maximize the promise of preaching and confront the perils leading to the renewal of church and society. Beginning with review of the situation today, we proceed step by step through the preparation and presentation of the sermon leading to transformation. The sermon in the local parish is seen as the microcosm of the macrocosm that is the communication of God's good news. "Rooted in a knowledge of and respect for traditional worship, David Randolph accurately assesses the difficulty facing mainline traditions in speaking to today's visual culture. But he doesn't stop there. He eloquently outlines a course of action that gives emphasis to the visual and, in particular, to the use of what he terms `new media.' Renewal of Preaching is a must read, not only as a text for those preparing for ministry, but also for long-time pastors seeking new ways of speaking to today's generation."---Joan Brix Carter Dean of College of Art and Design, Olivet University

Download or read book 360 Degree Leadership written by Michael J. Quicke and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership books and seminars notwithstanding, many pastors remain unclear on how to effectively lead their congregations. Some even believe that preaching needs to take a backseat to leadership. Dismissing such comparisons as artificial, pastor and professor Michael Quicke notes how the Scriptures themselves reveal transformational leadership through proclamation by preachers. God's preachers, Quicke asserts, are inevitably his leaders. Powerful preaching and disciple-making leadership go hand in hand in the Bible, as well as in the contemporary church. Both are inspired by God's energy. The intentional pastor will be renewed to discern that biblical preaching is central to the events of church life and mission.

Download or read book The Dynamics of Biblical Preaching written by Jonathan Lamb and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of our lives is to know the God of the universe who made us and loves us. It is this purpose that biblical preaching meets through explaining God’s word. Biblical preaching centres around proclaiming God’s Word and preachers are to be mouthpieces for God as we encounter the living Christ through Scripture. Jonathan Lamb illustrates the power of God’s Word by focusing our attention on the heart, task and purpose of preaching by leading us through Nehemiah 8:1-12. Reworked to benefit from the authors’ years of experience working alongside indigenous preaching movements around the world, this book includes excellent resources for group studies, preaching preparation and running a preachers’ group.

Download or read book Vision Bearers written by Cyril Okorocha and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 1996-07-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interviews with Anglican clergy and lay people from around the world involved in evangelism, capturing what it means to be evangelists in the 21st century. The authors of Vision Bearers have used broad brush strokes to paint a picture of evangelism and mission in the contemporary Anglican Communion. The result is the creation of a new excitement for the opportunities for witness, evangelism, and advancing the mission of the church. The book is based on dozens of interviews with clergy and lay people from around the world who attended the G-Code Evangelism conference—including the Archbishop of Canterbury. It both inspires and issues a challenge to Christians to move from passivity to an active ministry of evangelism and church-planting. The book describes the many different ways in which evangelism is taking place throughout the Anglican Communion: one-on-one relation ships, preaching, small prayer groups, healing and miracles, church planting, and the catechumenate. Challenges to Christian evangelism are also analyzed. Vision Bearers includes discussion materials for parish and group use, pictures, diagrams, and topics for prayer. It ends with a description of what an evangelistic church looks like: its life, the quality of the community within, its prayer life, mobilization of the laity, compassion, and world vision...and what it means to be a vision-bearer for the kingdom of God in the 21st century. Based on dozens of interviews with clergy and lay leaders from around the world, Vision Bearers captures the essence of what it means to advance the mission of the Church through dynamic witness and evangelism. It both inspires and issues a challenge to Christians to move from passivity to an active ministry of bold proclamation and loving service. Vision Bearers shows how evangelism can be found everywhere, from one-on-one relationships, preaching and small prayer groups, to healings, miracles, church-planting, and the catechumenate. The book also analyzes the challenges to Christian evangelism, including apathy, the rise of militant Islam, secularization and the youth culture. It provides a renewed vision for reaching those in the world who have yet to hear of Jesus Christ. The authors describe what an evangelistic church looks like and what it means to be a vision bearer for the kingdom of God on the 21st century, using examples from every corner of the globe. Discussion materials and prayer topics are included that will help inspire vision bearers everywhere.
Download or read book A New Kind of Church written by Aubrey Malphurs and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no shortage of books these days on new ways of "doing church." New church models have been both warmly embraced and roundly criticized. What are church leaders and others concerned about the state of the church to make of all this? Does the Bible prescribe a standard model for doing church? Or is there freedom within certain guidelines? In A New Kind of Church, respected church consultant Aubrey Malphurs addresses these important questions and suggests that there is room for new ways of doing ministry while being true to Scripture. In the process, he offers a theological and interpretive framework for evaluating any church model, new or old. He also offers suggestions for implementing change in the local church.
