How Effective Sermons Advance

Description: Sermon structure has been deemed an important component of preaching throughout the history of preaching by preaching instructors and practitioners alike. Many have made a case for the bearing that sermon structure has for the effective preaching of Scripture. However sermon structure when incorporated in a sermon often is not as serviceable as it could and should be! This book provides instruction for how sermon structure can serve to principlize Scripture by using statements of theological principle in the sermon outline. Therefore the timelessness and the timeliness of Scripture are prioritized through statements of theological principle providing doctrinal accuracy and personal relevance which are apparent in the outline of the sermon. How Effective Sermons Advance provides a thorough and comprehensive treatment on the highly significant matter of sermon structure. Endorsements: Throughout the entire volume Awbrey has first provided the principles that ought to be part of a structured approach to preaching; and then not content to leave his readers with theory alone he has provided superb examples of the craft he advocates. --from the Foreword by Paige Patterson President Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary I am particularly encouraged by the publication of this book and by the influence of Ben Awbrey.
