4 Ways to Secure the Glory of Christ in Your Preaching

In his book, Heartbeats of the Holy, Keith Knauss tells the story of a farmer who went to hear John Fletcher (a devout preacher who greatly influenced the ministry of John Wesley).  As the old farmer set out to hear Fletcher at a local revival service in town, he passed by his neighbor who asked of his goings.  The farmer said, “I am going to see Fletcher and hear him preach.”

On the following Monday, the farmer passed by the neighbor once again.  When the neighbor asked if he had seen Fletcher preach, the farmer replied, “No, I saw

10 Ways to Improve Sermon Preparation

With all the time-constraints that engulf the ministry, the preacher of God’s Word must be a good steward of his sermon preparation. If he is not, he will feel the crunch come Sunday. One of the reasons we have such powerless, anemic, insipid preaching in the pulpit is because we have such flippant, ill-managed, frivolous preparation in the study.  E.M. Bounds said it a little more tactfully, “A preacher who is enslaved in his study will be free in his pulpit.”

What may seem like 30 minutes of spoken exposition is really the manifestation of hours in books, in prayer, …

The preacher of God’s Word spends much of his time in preparation for the preaching hour. He studies, he prays, he searches, he digs out, he anticipates, he practices, he meditates, he even dreams about the moment when Sunday comes and he mounts the pulpit with the Bible in his hand. But on occasion, the preacher should walk away from the pulpit and sit on the pew. I do not mean he shouldn’t attempt to preach, I just mean that he should try listening to himself from time to time with his audience.

We, as preachers, are so engrossed with …

What You Probably Don’t Know About Your Pastor When He Preaches

What happens when your preacher preaches? I know…that’s a loaded question. I guess I should state it this way: Are you aware of what takes places when the pastor gets up to expound Scripture?  More than likely, you are cognizant of certain elements surrounding the preaching hour.  The pastor takes the congregation to a particular passage. He probably gives some sort of title or subject matter. He typically delivers his message in a familiar outline or framework.  He usually preaches a certain length of time. He does this and he does that. You know the nuance of his voice, the …

5 Reasons Why I Love Evangelistic Preaching

The Good News to an unbeliever is not good until it is actually news.  The gospel is divinely sanctioned to be heard.  If faith cometh by hearing (and it does), then the preacher should be speaking those things pertaining to the gospel.  How else, as Paul contends, can the unregenerate believe?

I love expository preaching.  And I love enthusiastic preaching.  Furthermore, I love evangelistic preaching.  The world needs me to love it, and God commands me to do it.  Evangelistic preaching is not only the call of New Testament Christianity; it is the heartbeat of the church.  A church that …

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
