Ralph West’s Weaving the Textual Web Workflow
This workflow for preparing a sermon is adapted from “Weaving the Textual Web” by Ralph West from the book Power in the Pulpit: How America’s Most Effective Black Preachers Prepare Their Sermons, edited by Cleophus J. LaRue (Westminster John Knox, 2002). The material is adapted with the permission of the author and the publisher. The workflow walks you through the preparation process for writing a biblical sermon with relevant applications. The preacher’s essential task is to communicate the Word with the centrality of Christ in proclamation. Preparing a sermon is like weaving a web from many components, much like a textile crafts worker weaves multicolored fabric from single fibers. Just as weaving is an intricate process, so is the writing of a sermon. Upon completing the workflow, you will have given thought to your overall plan for several sermons and written a manuscript for an upcoming service.

The Consequences of Ideas: Understanding the Concepts that Shaped Our World
R. C. Sproul's survey of the ongoing impact of history's most influential philosophies urges readers to take prevailing cultural mind-sets seriously, because ideas do have consequences. The greatest thinkers of all time are impacting us still. From public-policy decisions and current laws to world events, theology, the arts, education, and even conversations between friends, history's most influential philosophies have wrought massive consequences on nearly everything we see, think, and do. Thus it is critical for Christians to understand the ideas that are shaping them. The greater their familiarity with the streams of thought that have saturated Western culture through the ages, the greater their ability to influence this culture for Christ. With The Consequences of Ideas, Sproul expertly leads the way for thoughtful readers. Tracing the contours of Western philosophy from the ancients to the molders of modern and postmodern thought-including Plato, Aquinas,...
