Ordinary Preacher Extraordinary Gospel: A Daily Guide for Wise Empowered Preachers: 3 (Lloyd John Ogilvie Institute of Preaching)

Description: What does it mean to preach the gospel today? How do we shape vibrant congregations? How do we preachers not merely survive but thrive? For nearly a quarter century Chris Neufeld-Erdman has preached the gospel--sustaining congregational life and emboldening Christian witness in the midst of this turbulence. Hes also taught seminarians and mentored working pastors. His theology and practice of preaching is hammered out on the anvil of real life. Its tested. True. Useful. In this book a veteran pastor meditates on everything from exegesis and sermon preparation to the way preachers might preach after tsunamis hurricanes and earthquakes. He reflects on what it means for example to host the text in the midst of what feels like a terminal state of war and violence both abroad and at home as well as the task of preaching in the midst of the massive anxiety produced by economic uncertainty and political gridlock. Heres a book that will inspire and guide you as a wise empowered preacher--an ordinary agent of the extraordinary gospel.
