Shaping the Sermon
Paul declared, “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel“(1 Corinthians 9: 16, KJV)!

Preaching in the New Testament
John the Baptist was the last Old Testament preacher (Luke 16:16), and Jesus became the first New Testament preacher. In fact, for preaching, John Stott (1982) wrote, “The only place to begin is with Jesus himself” (p. 16).

One of my favorite stories is the Chronicles of Narnia. In The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the children are talking about the Christ-like figure, Aslan the Lion. The conversation goes, “Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion.” “Ooh,” said Susan. “I’d thought he was a man. Is he quite safe? IContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#17)
What is your biggest fear? For a lot of people, it is the fear of public speaking. When God called Moses, his lack of ability to speak became a point of contention. God wanted to use Moses to deliver his people but Moses, whether it was the real reason for his apprehension or a cover,Continue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#17)”
