"This book is a clarion call for African American preachers to think more deeply about the aims and ends of their preaching namely to stop putting so much emphasis on celebratory endings to our sermons and focus more on the substantive content in our sermons. Our so-called celebratory preaching, designed to excite the congregation into action through a highly emotional closing of the sermon, has had the opposite effect. Rather than inducing action, it has lulled generations of black congregants to sleep. While we are jumping up and down, shouting, and waving our hands in the air every Sunday during the worship hour, we seem not to notice the growing number of churched and unchurched alike who are becoming powerfully alienated from any form of institutional religion." from the introduction
"Celebration" is a term that has long been used to describe African American preaching, characterized by content that affirms the goodness and powerful intervention of God as well as style that builds from quiet beginnings to an emotionally rich crescendo in conclusion. Cleophus J. LaRue argues that while celebration is one of African American preaching's greatest gifts to the larger church, too many black preachers have become content with the form of celebration volume, vocabulary, pitch, speed, rhythm, and the like to the neglect of its essence the proclamation of the mighty acts of God in the lives of their congregations and communities. This kind of preaching, LaRue contends, fails to address the ongoing problems of the African American community and is powerless to prevent the growing disaffection of black America with the black church. In words both prophetic and practical, LaRue suggests ways to improve black preaching that honor both the form and the power of the African American homiletical practice of celebration. Preachers will learn how to use celebration more selectively and as part of a fully formed preaching practice rather than as a means of distracting the congregation from pressing social and theological questions. The book includes six illustrative sermons from LaRue as well as Paschal Sampson Wilkinson Sr., Brian K. Blount, and Claudette Anderson Copeland."

Описание: This is a study of the religious culture of sixteenth-century England, centred around preaching, and is concerned with competing forms of evangelism between humanists of the Roman Catholic Church and emerging forms of Protestantism. It is about `God`s Word` and sixteenth-century spirituality, and explores shifts in political power towards Protestantism.
Atreasury of powerful sermons challenging placid pew sitters to become enthusiastic followers of Christ. Uniquely contemporary and solidly based on God's word, these messages by one of today's seasoned preacher's urge Christians to put Christ first in their daily lives. According to Dr. Ellis' message, "You can go anywhere from nowhere", there's nothing wrong with starting from the bottom or lowest social stratum in society, you can rise from humble beginnings to be whatever you set your heart and mind to. " When you know who you are your "in look" shapes your "outlook", and your "outlook" shapes your "outcome."
Beginning with the significance of the Christian life these sermons offer fresh approaches to preaching for celebrations of the Christian year; from growing in the Christian faith; seeking God's spirit for renewal, and reliving the importance of Holy Communion, the celebration of Christmas and Easter.
Dr. Ellis' vibrant interpretations of biblical truths and their relevance to daily life offers a wealth of exciting thoughts to help pastor's bring vitality to the pulpit and stimulate congregational response.
The relationship between tradition and relevance is a core feature in religious practice in general and public worship in particular. On the one hand, worship is a bearer of religious traditions, i.e. traditions are maintained in the practice of public worship, and the worship enables individuals to connect with these traditions. On the other hand, it is a quest for relevance in public worship. In order to maintain existing worshippers and attract new participants, congregations have to consider their ability to connect their core values to the needs and expectations of existing and potential participants. This dual purpose of the worship causes a need for negotiation, and it is this negotiation between tradition and relevance that this book investigates. Old Paths and New Ways is a case study of the negotiation between tradition and the quest for relevance in liturgy.

Dr. Eves has given ministers and others who "preach the Word" an excellent book which can revitalize their preaching. His book gives practical pointers on how to give sermons that are biblically exegetical, presented with forceful logic, and given in effective style. This book will help both the preacher that has not had extensive education as well as the seminary grad who has been out for a few years and who may have quietly drifted into good patterns, but which with a little prodding could climb to the next level of effectiveness. Is your preaching in a rut, or do you sound the same Sunday after Sunday? Or perhaps you are already very effective for the Lord? In any case, this book may be just the tonic to give your preaching a new biblical fervor. I recommend this book as a "tune up" for all ministers who love the Lord and who seek to be as effective as they can be-touching the Bible and touching hearts through the Word and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Описание: Across national and cultural borders, the archetype of the fool has played a significant role in how communities interpret and ascribe identity. As Charles Campbell and Johan Cilliers remind us, the Christian preacher, tasked with delivering a paradoxical gospel, is a fool. In a delicate exploration with enlightening results, Preaching Fools uses a diverse representation of fools and foolish actions to show how modern preaching is inseparable from the folly of the cross. Campbell and Cilliers walk the fine line between the ugliness and beauty of the gospel and challenge readers toward a deeper engagement with its unsettling message.
