Some pastors take a long time to preach through a book. While this
enables them to expound the details of the text effectively, it sometimes
makes it difficult to keep the larger context in view. My approach is
to preach relatively quickly through a book in order to keep the author's
central purpose in view. It also allows me to preach from a wide range
of biblical books so that the congregation can hear the whole counsel of
God. This model was followed by such great preachers as John Chrysostom
(bishop of Constantinople in the early fifth century).
Augustine, the fifth century bishop of Hippo, expressed well my own
thoughts about my sermons. “My preaching almost always displeases me.
I eagerly long for something better, of which I often have an inward
enjoyment in my thoughts before I can put them into audible words.
Then when I find that my power of expression is not equal to my inner
apprehension, I am grieved at the inability of my tongue to answer to
my heart” (De Catech. Rudibus, ch. II. 3). If they are of use to
Christ's church, then I am content.
These sermons are presented here in their draft form. Many last
minute editorial changes are done in pencil, and never make it into
the electronic copy, and of course, the preached version never follows
the manuscript precisely.
