Sharpening and Shaping Your Sermon

Preaching follows a biblical mandate as part of God’s plan to communicate His love for humanity. It is much more than a public presentation intended to display the abilities of the preacher or please the senses of the audience. It is a sacred tradition meant to communicate a message from God’s Word to His people and one that places great responsibility on the human communicator.

To help inspire those who may be tasked with this endeavor, pastors and doctors Mervyn A. Warren and Benjamin F. Reaves are uniquely qualified to provide focused advice on the major areas of sermon content and preparation as professors of preaching with more than four decades of experience in the classroom and the pulpit of famed Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama.

Joys and Challenges of the Pastoral Family

A pastoral couple’s ministry always begins with many hopes and dreams. While experiencing those early joys, they usually have no idea of the heart wrenching struggles that will soon be added to the mix. But soon enough both the burdens and the joys shape and complicate their lives.

In this book we share the agony and thrill of being a pastoral family for over 35 years. Our hope is that our experience encourages pastoral couples to continually strengthen their commitment to each other, their family, and their church.

Whether you are a pastor or a local church leader; may this book bring you great insights about your own ministerial family.

Following the Apostles’ Vision

From small and unlikely beginnings in Jerusalem, the message of Jesus seemed to explode across the Roman world within only a few decades. It was powered by the Holy Spirit and the passion of those first men and women who had spent time with Jesus, but this remarkable success also came with self-sacrificing determination, hard work, and innovative mission strategies.

Re-reading the pastoral letters of Paul—written to the respective churches within the first ten years of their planting—offers valuable insights into the focus, energy, and methods of Paul and his ministry teams. And it must challenge our vision and practice of church, ministry, and mission today.
