Fall 2008 - Preaching for a Change

We all know that we aim to transform lives, rather than merely inform our audience through our preaching. How do we actually preach for a change though? Dr. Joseph Stowell, President of Cornerstone University, offers some advice. You will also hear a message by him, which he comments on why he did what he did. Finally, the Center for Preaching faculty will weigh in on what is needed to preach for life change.

Winter 2008 - Preaching Parables

Parables may seem like simple stories. But, most of us realize the challenge in effectively preaching parables. Along with the New Testament faculty, we will guide you in how to handle this genre of scripture.

Spring 2009 - Applications

Our messages are more than lectures. Applications play a critical role in our preaching. Yet, often finding solid, practical applications elude us. This issue will help you avoid the dangers in applying the text, as well as how to faithfully, yet relevantly, apply the Bible to the lives of your listeners.

Summer 2009 - Pastor as Shepherd

As preachers, there are many roles and titles we hold. One key biblical title given to us is that of a shepherd. Veteran pastors, Alistair Begg and David Hansen, join us to offer insights on shepherding well from the pulpit.
