While spiritual lethargy is often addressed from the perspective of theology and discipleship, little attention has been given to the role of homiletics in revitalizing a congregation’s spiritual health. In this study, Dr. Johnson Raih explores the impact of preaching on members of Baptist churches in Imphal, Manipur, India, from 2000 to 2015. He utilizes interviews and questionnaires from pastors, church leaders, and lay members to assess the presence of nominalism within church congregations, along with the effects of various preaching methods on increasing or decreasing spiritual vitality. Combining this qualitative research with scriptural and theological insight, Raih suggests that expository preaching has the power to confront, and even eradicate, nominalism within the church. He draws on biblical examples, along with the methodology of John Stott and Timothy Keller, to offer ten practical recommendations for countering nominalism homiletically – whether in Imphal, India, or around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preaching occurs when a holy man of God opens the Word of God and says to the people of God, “Come and experience God with me in this text.” Encountering God through Expository Preaching ushers preachers of all levels of experience through the practical steps necessary to preach with power. The authors not only cover the exegetical skills and homiletical techniques necessary for sound preaching, but they also dive deeper to emphasize how a pastor’s character and reliance upon the Holy Spirit are essential to preaching God’s word effectively. As the preacher encounters God in preaching, he will preach with spiritual power and see lives transformed and churches strengthened.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the words of author Greg Heisler, “Spirit-Led Preaching is a call issued to preachers, pastors, and teachers of homiletics to recover the Holy Spirit for expository preaching in the same way we have recovered the biblical text. . . . My plan for doing this is to recover the doctrine of pneumatology (the study of spiritual beings/phenomena) for our theology of preaching, resulting in a renewed emphasis on the powerful combination of Word and Spirit working together as the catalyst for powerful expository preaching.” Heisler thoroughly examines how the Holy Spirit illuminates and empowers the preacher, opens the hearts of the hearers, and applies the message to their lives. Indeed, to ignore the Holy Spirit’s role in sermon preparation and delivery would be a considerable oversight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With great joy I highly recommend this book to you. It will encourage and equip you for effectiveness in your preaching." -- Dr. Elbert E. Elliott, BA, MA, MDiv, PhD The greatest need at this crucial hour is to equip a new generation of God-gripped and Spirit-filled expository preachers throughout the world. I am convinced after four decades of preaching that if my preaching is not God-centered (biblical), the temptation is to substitute with man-centered preaching, manipulating the message with pop psychology, extra-biblical revelations, worldview options, opinions of man, gimmickries, dummy shows, and money tricks. Today, with this kind of ministry culture, many preachers have muffled and muted the biblical message to a tragic trend. In contrast, the uniqueness of expository preaching is that the message (textual unit) is maximized and the preacher's pedantry is minimized. In other words, the matter becomes more important than the manner (style). This generation deserves to hear the greatest expository sermons preached under the unction of the Holy Spirit. A serious study of this book will ignite your passion to "Preach the Word" as an imperative from the Almighty God who inspired His Word by the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16-4:2).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many times have you heard a sermon and walked away wanting more? How many times have you preached a message and wished you could have gone deeper into the text without leaving your audience scratching their heads? In Preaching for Bodybuilding, Joel Breidenbaugh, senior pastor and professor of homiletics, shows how the most faithful preaching begins by developing the preacher, who then proclaims God's message to listeners and helps them build their spiritual bodies into the image of Christ. Just as successful bodybuilders use workouts and planning, successful preachers must study and practice. Breidenbaugh traces doctrinal preaching and exposition through history, provides definitional clarity, surveys biblical examples, offers theological aids, shares practical advice and sample sermons, and reveals the beneficial elements of preparing and delivering doctrinal expository preaching, which can, and should, address the contemporary world while remaining rooted in theology. Recent studies reveal many evangelicals are biblically illiterate and theologically ignorant, which has inevitably been passed down by those occupying the pulpit. Preaching for Bodybuilding shows preachers how to integrate the two disciplines of theology and exposition and return to the Scriptures and its models, strengthening their preaching and helping the spiritual bodies of their audience grow. So, are you ready for a workout?
