A how-to guide for preparing and delivering Spiritfilled, biblical messages that make a difference Being called to preach is a tremendous commission. In
Preaching Life-Changing Sermons, Dr. Jesse L. Nelson shares a simple process for effective expository sermon preparation and delivery, flavored with insights from his life in ministry and academic work. Those with teaching and preaching responsibilities with little to no seminary training will learn practical steps they can use today in their ministry.
Nelson outlines the foundations of life-changing preaching and shows how each looks in the everyday life of a preaching pastor:
- Seeking the Spirit
- Selecting the Scripture
- Studying the Scripture
- Structuring the Sermon
- Speaking in the Spirit
- Sharing the Savior
Handling God's Word rightly through prayer, sermon preparation, and sermon delivery sets the stage for God to work. When the Spirit moves as Scripture speaks, souls are changed--and the call to preach becomes an exciting, life-changing adventure.
