Most preachers were never taught or shown how to preach a topical sermon, and they may lack the competency or confidence to do so. In Topical Preaching in a Complex World, Sam Chan and Malcolm Gill equip preachers with the rationale and skillset to prepare and deliver engaging topical sermons for a variety of occasions.
In this book, they introduce a straightforward, four-fold approach for preaching a topical message and answer important questions like these:
- How do you approach a topic with the proper interpretative lens?
- How can you speak to two or more audiences with the same sermon?
- What should you consider theologically, culturally, and pastorally in your preparation?
- How do you trace the topic back to Christ?
- How can you better connect with your audience?
Best of all, the authors help readers craft a message that says something people truly need (and want) to hear! Filled with wit, humor, and wisdom from decades of preaching, this book will equip preachers, pastors, ministry leaders, and students to preach relevant, biblical, and engaging topical sermons.
