Preaching in a New Key - Crafting Expository Sermons in Post-Christian Communities

Mark R. Glanville

Sinopse

An Expository Preaching Guidebook for Post-Christian Communities
Preaching must connect with its hearers. As the perception of the pastor has changed in recent years, and as congregations battle with increasing doubt, preaching appealing solely to rationality doesn't resonate in the same way as it once did. Post-Christian generations find themselves looking less for a charismatic authority figure and more for healthy leaders who are relationally connected to their neighborhood.
Scholar and pastor Mark Glanville provides a fresh look into the art of crafting sermons for post-Christian contexts. In Preaching in a New Key, he teaches the craft of Christ-centered expository preaching from the ground up. Writing for both new and experienced pastors, Glanville recognizes that it is time for us to reset our compasses.
Bringing together elements that are too often apart, Preaching in a New Key teaches expository preaching integrated with creativity, cultural discernment, pastoral health, justice, missiology, and more. Filled with helpful resources for seminary students and pastors alike, this book includes:

- Helpful visual aids to help prepare for writing a sermon
- Guides for how to structure a sermon
- Examples that show how to implement preaching practices
Preaching in a New Key offers a practical and refreshing vision for crafting sermons that are sustainable for the pastor and resonant with communities.

Habakkuk: Audio Lectures - 14...

Kenneth J. Turner

Designed for the pastor and Bible student, Habakkuk: Audio Lectures, together with the accompanying text on Habakkuk from the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament, brings to light the universal scope of God's sovereignty and mercy. With careful analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text, professor and scholar Kenneth Turner traces the flow of argument in the book of Habakkuk, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say. 
The book of Habakkuk is most known for its theological value as a prooftext for Paul's gospel--"the just shall live by faith:--and its devotional value of hope, trust, and triumph in its closing verses. Indeed, theology and devotion come together as we engage with the prophet’' personal faith journey. In the historical context of the looming Babylonian exile, Habakkuk struggles, as Abraham and Job did, with the apparent inconsistencies concerning God's character and plan. Ultimately, however, his questioning and challenging are both rooted and resolved in faith. As students, we are invited to enter in and behold God's glory, wonder, mystery, sovereignty, justice, and grace. 
In Habakkuk: Audio Lectures, each lecture offers the main idea of the passage, its literary context and Hebrew structure, an explanation of the text, and its practical significance for both the original audience and for us today.

Creating Calm in the Center of...

Nicole Johnson

Are you working harder than ever but feel like you’re accomplishing less?
Does your morning routine make chickens running around headless look sane?
Is your deepest sense of calm found in the bathroom with the door locked?
Do you check social media more than five times per day? Per hour?
Author, speaker, and actor Nicole Johnson knows what it’s like to feel as if you’re drowning in crazy. When she couldn’t catch her breath or stay awake long enough to talk with her husband, let alone God, she sought to find new ways of “being” in her life. Creating Calm in the Center of Crazy is a voice of possibility and peace for women seeking to find a calm spiritual center in a crazy, runaway world. As a wife and mom of young children herself, Nicole recognized that life had become out of control. And, with the help of a crisis, she started her journey to create the very calm she was craving.
Nicole’s voice is authentic, humorous, and practical, and at the same time deeply spiritual and real. She brings rich storytelling together with her desire to find calm, and in the process discovers a deeper faith. Her personal story grounds the book as she abandons mere tips and tricks (and the empty promises of time saving apps), to explore new practices — like creating a room of her own, setting technology boundaries, rediscovering the spiritual disciplines of quiet and still (they’re not bad words) — and then extending those practices to provide a safer, stronger refuge for calm to dwell.
Nicole’s journey is shared with relatable stories, insightful help, and practical ideas that explore the inner life of a recovering crazy busy woman finding her way to calm and a deeper relationship with God.
