A step-by-step guide to preparing effective expository sermons
Preparing Sermons from the Page to the Pulpit helps pastors move from study to sermon in seven clear steps.
Pastors love studying God's word. But it can be difficult to take the things they've learned from exegesis and apply them to the soul of a congregation. Veteran pastor and seminary professor Wayne Baxter helps pastors move from study to sermon. He guides preachers on how to take their exegetical analysis of a Scripture passage and turn it into an effective expository sermon.
Preachers and seminarians will be helped by Baxter's expertise as they grow in crafting compelling sermons.
This is not an inspirational book on preaching, but it is important. Its focus is the exegetical step in the homiletical process. Readers will be helped to be more careful in their attention to the text & more powerful in their preaching. A useful resource for the preacher.
This was a fantastic and very practical read. It accurately diagnoses issues with a lot of contemporary preaching. It offers a very tangible way to improve expository preaching and countless examples of how to do it (in which Wayne Baxter even encouraged me in his short insights on various passages!)
