Preaching & Preachers
A Little More Exposition - A Little Less Exhibition by John W. Weidert
Dealing with real issues and needs in the local church, John Weidert, provides some practical insight into the oft forgotten role of the pastor as "expositor".
A Word about Pride to all but Especially to Ministers of the Gospel by Richard Baxter
One of our most heinous and palpable sins is PRIDE. This is a sin that hath too much interest in the best of us, but which is more hateful and inexcusable in us than in other men. Yet is it so prevalent in some of us, that it indicteth our discourses, it chooseth our company, it formeth our countenances, it putteth the accent and emphasis upon our words.
Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures: The Need for Expository Preaching by Tom Ascol
American evangelicals need to be honest. Despite all of the great accomplishments that we tout, all of our incredible resources and all of our imposing statistics, we have made very little impact on our world and culture. In fact, just the opposite is true.
Gospel Preaching Commanded by Arthur W. Pink
Christ’s word, and it is Christ’s Word to us, is “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel.” He does not say “Send ye.” He says “Go ye,” and you have to answer to Christ yet because you have not gone!
Preaching God's Word by William Gouge
Although that which is spoken by ministers is only the sound of a man's voice, yet that which true ministers of God preach in exercising their ministerial function is the word of God.
Preaching That Hinders Revival by Richard Owen Roberts
Repentance must always begin in the house of God. Doubtless the best place for it to start is with those of us who preach. Let us examine some errors of preaching that stand in the way of revival.
Preaching: The Man by Geoff Thomas
I have chosen to speak on preaching under these three headings, the Man, the Message and the Method. If preaching is not a divine activity it is nothing at all. When Paul writes about it he says, "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us" (2 Cor.5:20).
Preaching: The Message by Geoff Thomas
Having begun with 'The Man' we now turn to 'The Message,' and it's the message that concerned Christians long to hear everywhere today.
Preaching: The Method by Geoff Thomas
There is nothing for the preacher more fundamental than the principle that a thing is true if Jesus Christ says so. That is the foundation on which every true ministry begins.
Preparations for the Christian Ministry - Employment in the Cure for Souls by Charles Bridges
“EXERCISE thyself unto godliness”–was one of the wise rules of the Apostle to his beloved son, for the course of his Ministry; a rule, which bears with most important application to the noviciate.
Preparations for the Christian Ministry - Habits of General Study by Charles Bridges
"GIVE attendance to reading" is the Scriptural rule for Ministerial study. It is obviously of a general character; nor is there any reason for restricting its application to the Sacred Volume. "Paul the aged," in sending for his "books and parchments," (which, it may be presumed, he wanted for perusal) exemplified the comprehensive extent of his own rule.
Preparations for the Christian Ministry - Habits of Special Prayer by Charles Bridges
LUTHER long since has said-"Prayer, meditation, and temptation, make a Minister." No one will hesitate to admit the importance of the first of these qualifications, who has ever realized the weight of Ministerial responsibility, who has been led to know that his "sufficiency is of God," and that prayer is the appointed channel of heavenly communications.
Preparations for the Christian Ministry - Special Study of the Scriptures by Charles Bridges
Habits of General study, however well regulated and perseveringly maintained, will reflect no light or spiritual apprehension of the Gospel, independent of the special study of the sacred volume.
Reformed Preaching and its Need Today by A. D. McIntosh
The content of Reformed Preaching is Calvinistic teaching, and Calvinistic teaching is Covenant teaching, and Covenant teaching systematically sets forth Scripture truth.
Richard Baxter - A Corrective for Reformed Preachers by Edward Donnelly
Why Baxter? His theology was not entirely sound. His desire to promote church unity sometimes betrayed him into seeking common cause with those who were far removed from the biblical faith.
Some General Observations Concerning Preaching, and Especially Application by James Durham
Having now gone through these epistles, we may see how wisely and seriously our Lord Jesus, the prince of pastors speaks from heaven to the condition of the churches to whom they are directed. Herein we have an excellent copy [example], according to which, ministers ought to carry themselves in discharging their trust.
The General Causes of Want of Success in the Christian Ministry by Charles Bridges
THE prophet's complaint-"Who hath believed our report?" has applied to every successive Ministry in the Church. It was echoed in reference even to the Ministry of Him, who "spake as never man spake;" who retained a listening multitude hanging upon his lips, and "wondering at the gracious words that proceeded out of his mouth."
The Place of Reprobation in the Preaching of the Gospel by Herman C. Hoeksema
If reprobation must be preached, what is its place? How must it be presented? What is its relation to election and to the whole of truth; and with what emphasis must it be presented?
What is it to Preach the Gospel? by Charles Spurgeon
What is it to preach the gospel? Is everybody preaching the gospel? No! Is everybody who claims to preach the gospel preaching the gospel? No! What is it to preach the gospel?
What is Reformed Experimental Preaching? by Joel R. Beeke
You probably know that, historically, Reformed and Puritan preaching was 'experimental' preaching. But do you understand what is meant by the term experimental or experiential?
Why Doctrinal Preaching Declines by Arthur W. Pink
During the last two or three generations the pulpit has given less and less prominence to doctrinal preaching, until today, with very rare exceptions, it has no place at all.
