Description
The fundamentals of preaching are central to the life the church. Revisit them in this crucial guide for beginner and veteran preachers alike.
When a preacher stands in the pulpit or at the lectern, he aims to help God’s people understand what God has said and how it applies to their lives so that they grow in their knowledge of God and are equipped to live for his glory. It’s a job with eternal significance, so the process of getting to that point is crucial.
Jonathon Woodyard and Chase Sears encourage us to go back to the basics. Returning to the fundamentals of preaching from time to time, reminding ourselves of our basic undertaking, is a wise strategy for faithfulness and helpful to both veteran and novice.
Preaching flows from a man who has seen great things in the Bible, has savored what he has seen, and is eager to stand before God’s people to say what he saw. This is the pattern we follow in The Simplicity of Preaching.
The authors highlight some strategies you can employ to see what the text says; ways you can help yourself savor the glorious truths of the Bible; and good homiletical practices that inform how you can most effectively say things from the pulpit.
This short book is helpfully divided into five sections:
1. What is Preaching and Why Do We Need It?
2. The Role of the Spirit in Preparing to Preach
3. Seeing: How We See Before We Say
4. Savoring What We See
5. How We Say What We Have Savored
Endorsements
I believe preachers of all levels of experience will be well served by this book as they see great things in the Scriptures, savor what they see, and then eagerly stand to say to the people of God what they saw.

Chase Sears and Jonathon Woodyard engage the mind so that we endeavour to see what God is saying; they engage the heart so that we might savor the reality of God’s truth and they encourage us practically to say these things to God’s people Sunday by Sunday.

Another book on preaching? Yes, and a welcome resource it is. … a “refresher” for the labors of the sacred desk, this resource will serve the pulpit and the pews well in our day.

I love the simplicity of this book and the stirring reminder that we need a Christ–adoring heart when we set out to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ.
