Why Is It Important to Preach on Racial Justice?

on May 13, 2021

In this excerpt from the foreword to Ministers of Reconciliation, Russell Moore explains why pastors should not shy away from addressing matters of racial justice and reconciliation from the pulpit. Several years ago, reading a Baylor University Press compilation of sermons and speeches from the Jim Crow era, I was struck by one from a

Giving Greater Honor to the “Minority” in Your Midst

on May 6, 2021

In this excerpt from Ministers of Reconciliation, Raymond Chang argues that a biblical view of honor serves as a helpful framework for discussing issues of race and ethnic division and unity. As a second-generation Korean American, I straddle the line between the East and the West. In my upbringing, I was told to be “American”

Think About Sermon Writing as Sculpting

on April 29, 2021

In this excerpt from Small Preaching, Jonathan T. Pennington compares the process of sermon writing to the art of sculpture. A few years back, my wife and I had the opportunity to drive around the beautiful North Island of New Zealand. In addition to exploring the stunning scenery, one of our most memorable adventures was

Addressing Racism in Light of the Image of God

on April 8, 2021

In this excerpt from Ministers of Reconciliation, Matthew D. Kim discusses how pastors can address racism through a full understanding of the concept of the image of God. Race and ethnicity are taboo subjects in many pulpits across the United States. Knowing that some of their congregation will see it as “liberal” talk, a social

Theology for Preaching, Preaching for Theology

on April 6, 2021

In this excerpt from Theology Is for Preaching, Chase R. Kuhn argues that the most biblical sound form of preaching is deliberately theological. There appears to be a growing hesitancy towards the discipline of systematic theology amongst some evangelical leaders. There is a concern that theological systems pollute a pure reading of the Bible, so

A Biblical Foundation for Understanding Baptism

on March 30, 2021

Talk about baptism, and you’re immediately plunged into arguments. Whom should we baptize—professing converts or infants? How should we baptize—by immersion, pouring, or sprinkling? Why do we baptize—as a sign of God’s claim or as a convert’s public confession of faith? What does baptism do—nothing, something, everything? If it does something, how long does it

God Among Us: The Magnitude of Christ’s Advent

on December 1, 2020

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he

A Glimpse into John Stott’s Preaching Notes

on July 15, 2020

It probably seems strange to publish an anthology of notes, quotes, and illustrations from the files of a preacher who professed not to “believe in illustrations.” But of course, while John Stott was never one of the great storytellers or showmen, he did become a preacher who took the need to interact with prevailing trends

Are Contextual Theologies Heretical Theologies?

on June 25, 2020

Asian North American (ANA) preachers read and interpret Scripture with a unique lens. We need a contextual hermeneutic of our own that will inform our homiletic. But first, you may be wondering if there is a universal approach for interpreting Scripture. Do ANA pastors really interpret Scripture all that differently from members of other cultures?
