The gospel is powerful; we just need to speak it. In this very practical, short book from the Get Preaching series, Nigel Style reminds us what preaching is, what the message of the cross is, and why that is something to be heralded to all the world. Bringing these two points together he explains the importance of always preaching the cross when preaching the Bible. The Get Preaching series is for all preachers. These short books will help the novice preacher on a course of faithful preaching, the experienced preacher to hone their skills, and preaching groups sharpen each other. However you use this book we hope that it will achieve its twin aims. That you would get preaching (understanding the task at hand) and get preaching (doing more preaching).
Since April 2016, Nigel has been Director of the PT Cornhill Training Course and Team Leader of the PT staff. Previously, he was involved in church leadership for over 35 years, most recently in Nottingham. He is enthusiastic to hear the Bible taught well and loves watching its impact in people’s lives.
Great style, easily accessible with some wonderful insights and practical applications about handling the Bible. As the author points out, "preaching" is not restricted to the sermon but to everytime someone speaks from the Bible (to a friend, coworker, family member etc).
And key point, preaching the cross is not bouncing to the crucifixion, but looking at the piece of the picture that an individual section is displaying.
