Preaching as Worship: An Integrative Approach to Formation in Your Church

by Michael J. Quicke

Much current literature on church worship rarely mentions preaching, and vice versa. Worship is often seen as restricted to music and liturgy while preaching is assumed to operate on different principles for different purposes. But veteran preacher Michael Quicke argues that preaching should be viewed as worship, as both worship and preaching belong within the same Trinitarian dynamic, serving the same purpose and marked by similar characteristics. Drawing on insights from wide-ranging literature and practitioners on both sides of the gap, this insightful book confronts and corrects ten characteristics of preaching that are disconnected from worship.

Thought provoking read for church leaders

As a Worship Pastor, this book is challenging and exciting. Seems like a long road ahead to achieve what’s advocated for in this book, but I’m hopeful our team will embrace it for the sake of the Church.

Decent content

I enjoyed the content. Totally agree with the author—the sermon is only part of the worship. So looking forward to implementing several ideas in the book. Probably, around 100 pages would’ve been enough to get his point across.
