Opis

One famous preacher said, "The work of preaching is the highest and the greatest and the most glorious calling to which anyone can ever be called. ... and the most urgent need in the Christian Church is true preaching; ... it is obviously the greatest need of the world also." The late Rev. John Stott was most convinced of this need and founded Langham Partnership International in 2001. Trinidad's first Langham seminar, Foundations of Biblical Preaching, was held in January 2010. This book is a compilation of Level 1 lessons, from various contributors and sources, as they emerged over five years of Langham ministry in Trinidad & Tobago. Grounded in the compelling case for biblical preaching, it takes the reader along the rugged road from text to sermon - understanding the Bible passage in context and in detail, building the bridge from the Bible world to the world of our listeners and developing the sermon. It culminates with some indispensable practices for growing as a preacher. Many authors have written on this subject but this handbook was put together especially for our local team as we seek to equip a new generation of preachers and teachers through our Langham seminars. "This resource brings together a host of valuable ideas and graphics that will help both beginning preachers and veterans improve their preaching. I hope many will use it in the service of the church." -Rev. Greg Scharf, D. Min, Professor of Pastoral Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, IL, USA. "By combining on-site experience with professional expertise, the Langham Trinidad & Tobago team has created an effective pedagogical tool on biblical preaching. Their mission to strengthen the faithful and relevant delivery of God's Word meets a critical and large need in their nation and beyond. I commend them for sharing in this burden to enhance preaching ministries in local congregations so that the Bride of Christ will be healthy. This workbook is easily transportable to help teachers of preaching and trainers of pastors in under-resourced situations everywhere." -Ramesh Richard, ThD, PhD Professor, Dallas Theological Seminary President, RREACH Founder, Trainers of Pastors International Coalition TOPIC]
