Here are some posts on preaching and exegesis that I noticed recently. (To receive Preaching Post Roundup as a weekly email, please subscribe.)
- 10 Essentials of Preaching from Jesse Randolph (The Master’s Seminary) – preaching should be biblically-centered and grounded, God-exalting, Christward, doctrinally and theologically accurate, dependent, well-prepared, authoritative, demanding, articulate and imaginative, passionate and engaging
- Relying on the Spirit from Joel Beeke (Reformation 21) – “the Puritans were convinced that both preacher and listener are totally dependent on the work of the Spirit”
- Add “Powerful Arguments” to Your Exegesis: What I’m Learning from Reading Jonathan Edwards’s Early Sermons fr0m Randal Pelton (Pelton on Preaching) – the value of including strong biblical and theological reasoning in our sermons
- Keep Your Bucket Handy from Bruce Ballast (Preaching Acts) – an encouragement to keep collecting illustrative material for use in preaching
- The Critical-and Often Underused-Ministry Tool from Luke Holmes (Facts & Trends) – in ministry and preaching, often you should reach for a trowel (a tool to build) rather than a sword (a tool to defend)
- “Best of Preaching and Preachers” Episode 140: The Pastor and Justification from Matthew Barrett and Jason Allen (Jason K. Allen) – our need to understand justification and to proclaim it clearly to our people
