Pastor, teacher, and mentor James Earl Massey helps us see the
encouragement, wisdom, and practical direction the Epistles offer
to our generation. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step suggestions for
leading a group are provided, as well as questions to facilitate
group discussion. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step suggestions for
leading a group are provided, as well as questions to facilitate
group discussion. Immersion, inspired by a fresh translation--the
Common English Bible--stands firmly on Scripture and helps readers
explore the emotional, spiritual, and intellectual needs of their
personal faith. More importantly, they ll be able to discover God s
revelation through readings and reflections."
In this insightful study, James Earl Massey offers an expanded
version of the Twelfth Annual William E. Conger, Jr. Lectures on
Biblical Preaching that he delivered at Beeson Divinity School in
February 2004. Through a unique collection of informative lectures
and illustrative sermons, the highly esteemed teacher and preacher
considers four dimensions of the preacher as steward of the gospel
story. Pastors will warmly welcome this book as it provides them
with both practical guidance and insight about their identity as
preachers.
In this volume James Earl Massey explores both the sense of burden
and the sense of joy that accompanies the preaching task. He gives
attention to the preacher's sense of the inward side of the task,
next to the outward side of preaching. He then considers the
togetherness that earnest preachers seek to experience with their
hearers, followed by reflections on the planning necessary for the
eventfulness that preaching was ordained by God to offer. After
almost fifty years of preaching, Massey offers insight and
reflection that will remind, inform, stimulate, and encourage all
who bear the necessary and perennial responsibility to prepare and
preach the Word.
Providing fundamental homiletical principles, this classic book
gives readers all the tools they need to prepare a meaningful
sermon.
"Sermon design"--James Massey's contemporary, creative approach
to shaping specific classifications of sermons--focuses on order
(What is the preacher's goal?) and on movement (What structure is
he or she using to get there?). The discussion of his approach
begins with an appraisal of the sermon in context--in relation to
goals, design, basic forms, contemporary concerns, and the "why" of
it all.
Dr. Massey's specific forms for designing sermons include the
narrative/story sermon--a subject which is receiving renewed
interest today; the textual-expository sermon; the
doctrinal/topical sermon; and the special occasion sermon, for
which he has chosen the topic of the funeral. Suggestions are
included for studying the methods of master preachers as a resource
for more effective preaching. And three of the author's own tested
sermons are used as illustrations of sermon design
possibilities.
Resources for preachers steadily appear, called forth by the
perennial need on the part of working pastors for helpful and
inspirational materials backed by tested experience, reverent
scholarship, and creative insights. The essays in this book are of
that cast, and each essay is the work of an experienced
practitioner-scholar in the field of preaching. The chapters focus
on the preaching ministry of Gardner Calvin Taylor, in whose honour
the volume was prepared. They are offered, with affection and
esteem, by colleagues, students, and friends, fellow preachers all,
whose own attempts to speak the unsearchable riches of Christ owe
much to the life and labours of Gardner C. Taylor. Considered by
many as the greatest living American preacher, Gardner C. Taylor
has often reminded other preachers about the need for divine help
in fulfilling the call.
