  Biblical Preaching — Authority: 464
  I was just writing a mini-article in response to a request.  As I was writing it, I came across an article I wrote earlier this year.  I’ve linked to it previously, but here it is if you didn’t see it back then – click here .  Let me just quote a paragraph: We must preach as those genuinely captivated by ...

• The Preacher’s Motivation

  
  Biblical Preaching — Authority: 464
  Yesterday I pondered why a message might be considered a new take or somehow different from what was expected.  On this particular occasion I preached Matthew 1.  I wonder if there’s another element to add to yesterday’s list of thoughts: 4. Not overemphasizing the theologically rich element in the text. ...

• The Challenge of Consistency

  
  Biblical Preaching — Authority: 464
  I tend to agree with the notion of there being a difference between small church and big church.  A small church, perhaps under 100 people, will tend to have strengths that can become weaknesses in a larger church, perhaps over 200 people.  For instance, in a small church, low standards of music and preaching will ...

• Movie Illustrations – A Risky Business

  
  Biblical Preaching — Authority: 464
  Some churches absolutely oppose any illustration from hollywood or TV.  Actually, some churches oppose any attempt to be relevant to contemporary listeners at all.  Now if you preach in a place that is not so restrictive, you’ll be tempted to use movie illustrations sometimes.  They can be very effective.  But ...

• Excessive Abstractions and Principles Too General

  
  Biblical Preaching — Authority: 464
  Preaching an ancient text to a contemporary congregation will usually require some level of abstraction.  To preach an ancient instruction simply as it stands is to present a historical lecture, rather than a relevant presentation of inspired truth.  Some preachers simply say what is there and effectively offer ...
