Pastoral Preaching: Building a People for God
Overview
Church congregations are not being given a comprehensive, biblical understanding of the faith. Drawing on his own experience as a pastor in Zambia, Conrad Mbewe tackles issues such as the content of pastoral preaching, how pastoral preaching relates to church life, finding the time to prepare pastoral sermons, and dealing with discouragement. Throughout the book, it is clear that the author’s conviction is to see preachers grow strong churches, to build a people for God.

“Sheep tend to pick up diseases from the environment, wander off and get lost, and often end up as food for wild beasts. Christians also tend to pick up wrong ideas from friends and false teachers, which weaken them spiritually. They go astray and make shipwreck of their lives. To avoid this, they need to be looked after. That is the task of the elders in the church.” (Page 18)
“‘This gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come’” (Page 12)
