When you left seminary or took up your present pastorate you were going to set the church aflame with your sound Biblical exposition, your sweeping theological insights and your homiletical eloquence. To do so you have to preach like Paul - or Peter - or Stephen!
Roger Wagner sets out to give you the insights you need. He first looks at the characteristics of New Testament preaching and then looks in more detail at 10 sermons preached in Acts by Peter (3), Paul (6) and Stephen. An appendix deals with how to preach to the modern, pluralist, materialist, pagan society we live in. Dissatisfied with your sermons? You too could preach like an Apostle!
From the introduction by Roger Wagner: "You are already accustomed to using the scriptures for the content of your messages. Now I am calling you to examine the way the sermons in Acts can give you insights into how to shape the form of your messages. Let the apostolic preachers be your
examples of how to deliver sermons that will be powerful and effective."
