Preach with Confidence, Clarity, and Conviction
This introductory homiletics textbook gives students and pastors a step-by-step process for crafting and communicating biblical sermons that are theologically grounded, culturally aware, and spiritually formed.
Leading scholar and professor of preaching Matthew D. Kim draws on twenty-five years of preaching experience to offer
● a trinitarian framework, centering all three persons of the Trinity in sermon preparation and delivery;
● guidance through five major areas of preparation: theological, biblical, cultural, spiritual, and communicational;
● ten sermonic steps that offer a clear, repeatable process from text selection to pulpit delivery;
● contextual preaching that equips preachers to apply Scripture meaningfully to today's listeners; and
● exercises and examples suited for the classroom and ongoing pastoral practice.
This "next generation" homiletics resource restores the Bible and the triune God to their rightful place in the pulpit. Written for both novice and experienced preachers, it equips readers to expound, communicate, and apply Scripture with clarity and conviction so they can deliver contextualized messages for today's listeners.
