Overview

"The art of biblical preaching—clearly and simply presented." Here are the basic preaching principles as well as the main preaching prohibitions that can help you sharpen and focus your skills in the pulpit. Underlying these elements is a heartfelt understanding of the power and purpose of preaching: "A preacher must not be satisfied merely to instruct the mind; he must also stir the heart and motivate the will to apply God's truth personally," say the authors.

Top Highlights

“If the preacher has done his heart-work and his homework, he should be able to state in one sentence exactly what his message is about and what he wants to accomplish.” (Page 25)

“Have a specific aim for each message, and be sure to tell your congregation what it is.” (Page 25)

“It is not enough to have the authority of the Word behind the sermon; one must also evidence the power of a life lived under the authority of that Word.” (Page 19)

“Almost every passage in the Bible could be preached with a four-point ‘outline’: the setting, the wording, the meaning, and the living.” (Page 34)

“The preacher aims at the heart (devotion), the mind (doctrine), and the will (duty)” (Page 58)
