« Previous Entries Next Entries »Stott: Preaching & The Gospel
Friday, March 21st, 2008From Galatians 3.1-3 Stott makes these observations related to preaching the gospel:
1. Gospel-preaching is proclaiming the cross. (Gospel is at heart good news of Christ crucified.)
2. Gospel-preaching is proclaiming the cross visually. (Like a painting on a huge canvas for all to se.)
3. Gospel-preaching proclaims the cross visually as a present reality. [...]
Writers Block
Thursday, March 6th, 2008As I work on finishing things up for Sunday I have definitely hit the wall.
I’m not a writer but I do so every week as I prepare for Sundays. My M.O. is to handwrite around a 20 page document on a legal pad (always a legal pad, just one of my many idiosyncrasies).
I [...]
Has Preaching seen It’s Day? Pt 4

Has Preaching seen It’s Day? Pt 3
Is it just me or are many younger pastors flaunting how lengthy they preach? Is it just me or are many wearing their long preaching as a badge of honor? It seems the perception is that unless [...]
Tim Keller & the State of the Pulpit in America Today
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008I have really grown to appreciate and admire Tim Keller. He is such a voice of wisdom and mediation in a time when extremes are the norm.
I was checking out some videos from the Gospel Coalition site and I was extremely encouraged by his short video interview on preaching.
He begins with his concern for [...]
Has Preaching Seen It’s Day? Pt 3
Thursday, December 13th, 2007Verse By Verse vers(us) Verse With Verse
Verse by verse would be more closely aligned with what is typically known as expository preaching while verse with verse (first heard this phrase from Rick Warren) would be more like a topical sermon.
Here are my questions.
Is there anything inherently advantageous about either of these paradigms?
Is there anything inherently [...]
Has Preaching Seen It’s Day? Pt 2
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007When I did the seminary gig I had a couple of preaching classes, Intro to Expository Preaching and then the next semester a preaching lab. In many ways these were pivotal classes for me in more ways than one.
So this morning I want to present a quote from the text we used, Rediscovering Expository Preaching [...]
Has Preaching Seen It’s Day?
Friday, December 7th, 2007There’s a lot of talk today concerning the end of preaching. Many churches have moved from preaching to dialogues to conversations to something. Others are advocating more old school forms as the only appropriate means of teaching. And in many ways one is left to wonder what to do with these observations.
Those [...]
Teaching & Communication Prep Schedule
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007One of the things that came out to me as I prepared for this past weekend’s Sneak Preview Service is my need for a fairly detailed preparation schedule. If I’m going to come to the place where I am working ahead of the game (2 months is my goal) then I have to develop [...]

Great Convos Today
Thursday, November 8th, 2007I was able to talk with a good friend today who’s starting a church in Boulder, Scott Kelly. It was a great conversation, hearing about what’s happening out there, etc. But it was also good to get some input and feedback related to teaching and communication. I’m working through some things, wanting [...]
