Steve Mathewson on preaching God-centered sermons
Steve Mathewson, author of The Art of Preaching Old Testament Narrative, is blogging on how to preach God-centered sermons at the Preaching Today blog.From part one: "The vision of God is the aspect of God’s character which serves as the focal point of the text…When I preach a text, I’m trying to demonstrate that human responses to problems, temptations, opportunities, or challenges emerge from a vision of God’s supremacy and majesty."From part two: "Identifying the 'depravity factor' will help us keep our sermons from being so "God-centered" they're impossible to relate to or to apply."
