Preaching and the Emerging Church

Emerging Church Preachers by 
Bohannon, Driscol, Pagitt

The emerging church movement has significantly influenced contemporary Christianity. Evidence abounds-the creation of blogs, conferences, seminary classes, doctorate programs, and the birth of an entire class of literature. In recent years much has been written to help the church better understand this latest Christian phenomenon. However, a deficiency still exists when it comes to understanding the role of preaching within the movement. Since preaching is God’s appointed means to convert sinners and preserve the church, then an understanding of this movement’s preaching is of vital importance to the church and the culture it serves.

Sunday morning worship is often the last place we look for or want creativity, and the sermon least of all. Even those who consider themselves “creative” may not know how to use their imagination in purposeful and appropriate ways in preaching. But there is no single best way to preach. And that is what Grant Howard’s book, CREATIVITY IN PREACHING, is about. There are different and interesting means to present the message of the gospel without perverting the truth or affronting the Revealer.

Call to Pastors by 
Dean Shriver

Dean Shriver reminds us again of the need for personal integrity in preachers and their preaching. He argues that integrity is everything, and it must not be faked. The God who speaks with the utmost integrity must have messengers who represent him well. Anyone in ministry, therefore, needs to read this book. Although it can be read in a couple of hours, it will have to be practiced for a lifetime

Preaching by 
Steven Elzinger

The Secret to a great Preaching Ministry states that every Sunday morning, millions of believers gather around a pulpit to hear God’s message for their lives. The sermon might inspire, convict, or challenge the listeners in their spiritual quest. But within a few days, the message is forgotten, while the struggles continue. Many books address this problem by focusing on the speaker’s role: tips and tricks for communicating more effectively. But the other side of the equation is often neglected. The secret to a great preaching ministry, Steven Elzinga reveals, lies in preparing the hearts of the listeners.

Practical Homiletics by

For over 30 years, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones ministered at Westminster Chapel in London. Today, he is widely considered one of the greatest preachers of the 20th century.

Lloyd-Jones defends the primacy of preaching, showing that there is no substitute, and he challenges preachers to take their calling seriously: “The most urgent need in the Christian Church today is true preaching.
