Although lectionary and worship allow us to deepen our appreciation for the Bible and the themes and emphases of the Christian calendar, they sometimes fail to allow preachers to speak the gospel directly to the situations that occupy their congregations. This book is designed to help pastors and seminarians discover resources they already have to unpack situations and understand them theologically in light of their task of preaching the gospel.
- Covers six key situations that preachers commonly face in congregational ministry
- Approaches situations theologically, rather than simply offering "how-to's"
- Helps prepare pastors to speak gospel in the face of the unexpected
- Will provide additional materials on occasional preaching for New Proclamation.com
