Description

Preach with compassion and conviction

In More than a Sermon, Douglas D. Webster highlights the prophetic and pastoral challenge of preaching today. The task is both harder and easier than we imagine, as we are called to proclaim the biblical text in a way that convicts a hostile world while encouraging our congregations to rest in Christ’s love. We need preaching that both swings the hammer that breaks hard hearts yet does not break the bruised reeds in our care.

Offering practical insights and examples, Webster explores what it means to preach the gospel in different seasons such as: 

    • Advent and Lent
    • Memorial services and weddings
    • Times of crisis or social impact

More than a Sermon is a valuable resource for both new pastors and veteran preachers who want to proclaim the whole counsel of God with power and wisdom.

“Webster challenges us to preach faithful and fruitful sermons that magnify Christ, comfort and convict, and edify the weary so that—over time, with God’s help—we all may mature fully in Christ.”

Robert Smith Jr., Beeson Divinity School
