Download or read book Deep Preaching written by J. Kent Edwards and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2009 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. Kent Edwards recalls a story that late pastor J. Vernon McGee told about seeing children in South Africa playing a game of marbles in the dust with real diamonds. The precious stones were being handled with no regard for their true worth. Edwards fears the same thing happens today when preachers offer Scriptural truth to listeners without being completely overwhelmed by its greatness themselves in the process. Deep Preaching is his call to "rethink" preaching. Edwards helps preachers learn to preach the word in ways that will powerfully change the lives of hearers. He contends that sermons "need not settle comfortably on the lives of the listeners like dust on a coffee table." He encourages preachers to join him in casting off the lines that moor their ministries to the status-quo and make every effort to steer their preaching out of the "comfortable shallows." He urges them to preach deep sermons rather than superficial ones, moving "beyond the yawn-inspiring to the awe-inspiring, from the trite to the transforming."
Download or read book I m Called to Preach Now What Work Book written by Dr. Aaron Chapman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-05-19 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Aaron Chapmans expressions on efficacious expository preaching is a masterpiece. It is a must read for aspiring expositors and for the tenured preacher. I am encouraged to keep pressing for a higher level in this calling because of this book (Pastor C. L. Mayes; Macedonia Baptist Church, Toledo, Ohio; national evangelist). A library must have, is this soul-searching, conscious-pricking discourse of self examination of ones calling and commitment to make full proof of their fervor towards the call to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Dr. Aaron Chapmans masterpiece: Im Called to Preach Now What? is an emphatic dissuading of preachers from becoming pirates plunderers and predators, of the sweet pain of another preachers production and performance. If the passion to preach will effectively move from print to proclamation, one will fare well to embrace this theorem: Monday is Tuesday. Tuesday is Wednesday. Wednesday is Friday. Saturday is for meditation. And all of a sudden, its Sunday! Now what? (Pastor Tellis Chapman; Galilee Baptist Church; NBC Late Night president). Dr. Aaron Chapman offers us a practical and thorough format for beginning and continuing the development of sermons. Preachers everywhere can learn again how to do sermonizing. As a teacher of preaching and mentor to numerous preachers across generations, Im particularly fascinated with Dr. Chapmans freshness and creativity. I recommend this reading to anyone who wants to be challenged toward authenticity and integrity in sermon development and delivery. This work is anchored in the rich history of homiletics while sprouting dynamic images for creative and dynamic possibilities for the future of preaching. This book should be read again and again by those who preach in order to remain relevant and impactful (E. L. Branch; Third New Hope Baptist Church, Detroit; homiletics professor, Ashland Seminary).
Download or read book Text Driven Preaching written by Dr. Daniel L. Akin and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Text-Driven Preaching features essays by Daniel L. Akin, Paige Patterson, David Alan Black, Jerry Vines, Hershael York, David L. Allen, Bill Bennett, Ned L. Mathews, Robert Vogel, and Jim Shaddix urging pastors to commit to presenting true expository preaching from the pulpit. Concerned over what some church leaders even consider to be expository preaching today, they agree, “This book rests firmly on the biblical and theological foundation for exposition: God has spoken.” Capturing the urgency and spirit of these writings in the book’s preface, co-editor Allen notes, “The church today is anemic spiritually for many reasons, but one of the major reasons has to be the loss of biblical content in so much of contemporary preaching. Pop psychology substitutes for the Word of God . . . in the headlong rush to be relevant, People magazine and popular television shows have replaced Scripture as sermonic resources.”
Download or read book Preaching as the Word of God written by Sam Chan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Reformers, preaching is the word of God. As the word of God, preaching is a foundation for the church. It is also vital for the personal growth of a Christian. But Christians are poorly equipped to understand how preaching is the word of God. Some Christians look for preaching that closely reproduces the text in the Bible. Other Christians look for preaching that creates maximal emotional and existential impact. And there is a lot of name-calling with Christians accusing preachers of "not preaching the word." But what type of preaching is the word of God? The purpose of this book is to equip Christians to understand how preaching can be God speaking. It accomplishes this with a survey of the problem in the history of the church, a detailed overview of key biblical texts, and finally the application of the contemporary philosophical tool of speech act theory.

Download or read book Demons written by Michael S. Heiser and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The truth about demons is far stranger—and even more fascinating—than what's commonly believed. Are demons real? Are they red creatures with goatees holding pitchforks and sitting on people's shoulders while whispering bad things? Did a third of the angels really rebel with Satan? Are demons and "principalities and powers" just terms for the same entities, or are they different members of the kingdom of darkness? Is the world a chaotic mess because of what happened in Eden, or is there more to the story of evil? What people believed about evil spiritual forces in ancient biblical times is often very different than what people have been led to believe about them today. And this ancient worldview is missing from most attempts to treat the topic. In Demons, Michael Heiser debunks popular presuppositions about the very real powers of darkness. Rather than traditions, stories, speculations, or myths, Demons is grounded in what ancient people of both the Old and New Testament eras believed about evil spiritual forces and in what the Bible actually says. You'll come away with a sound, biblical understanding of demons, supernatural rebellion, evil spirits, and spiritual warfare.
