The magnificent tyranny of the Gospel

December 27, 2012  David Murray   6 comments

Seven reasons for preaching from a text rather than a topic:

  1. Scriptural precedent
  2. Honors the Bible
  3. Distinguishes the sermon
  4. Tethers preacher
  5. Easily remembered
  6. Variety
  7. Sets limits

    David, thanks for these preaching videos. “How Sermons Work” was a super duper encouragement, simplified and demystified preaching quite a bit for me. Thanks for a great tool kit to work with and grow as a preacher for decades to come.

    What’s your overall plan for the videos? Will you be summing up the book? That’d be a great additional tool to train more preachers in-house in our churches!

    Thank God for you, all the way up in Maine!

    Thanks Joshua. Glad you enjoyed the book. I was asked by a few people to divide the book into short bite-sized lectures that could be used to train students and elders. That’s what I’m trying to do. I’ll also be supplementing with extra material here and there.

    Fantastic, David! We’ll def be using it in training our elders and leaders in preaching. Appreciate your ministry!
