- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is a guide every pastor / bible teacher should read
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This books has helped ne tremendously as a young preacher!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Surprisingly good for such a short & colloquial primer.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great foundation for anyone who is preaching the word of God or anyone that has the calling to preach the word of God.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5David Helm's Expositional Preaching is another fine contribution to the 9 Marks book series.As the title suggests, this is a book on the mechanics of preaching expository sermons. Helm walks the reader through the steps of exegeting a biblical text and delivering a message that is faithful to that text. He helps the reader think through how to reflect theologically on how a text fits into the overall arc of the biblical narrative.If you are looking for a manual on sermon preparation, this book is a bit thin. But as either an introductory work into the field of expository preaching or a supplemental book to other fine works in this field, Expositional Preaching definitely has a place!I recommend this book to pastors and anyone else who teaches the Bible.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This relatively short book is an excellent reminder to preach based on what the Holy Spirit intended the original writer to proclaim. The author clearly exposes the traps many fall into, including: starting with your end in mind; developing your main point after an initial read through the text; using a particular text because you "know" it make the point you have in mind. You must set aside your preconceived notions, study the text, study the book, understand the author and the original audience as well as the point he was making. Then you can begin to craft your sermon. Most helpful are the short examples sprinkled throughout the book and especially the Appendix, which is a summary guideline of the points from the book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5David Helm has written a practical and readable guide to the basics of preaching from an expositional perspective. His goal is to guide preachers in understanding and applying the transcendent truths of the Bible to today's culture. He seeks preachers to develop clarity in understanding what the text says, including what it spoke it its original audience, then to see how the text points to the Good News of Jesus Christ, and lastly, how the text is relevant today. Helm explores each of these stages of preparation, and as I said, is thoroughly practical in his approach. Practicality and readability does not mean the preacher will find the steps to be easy or automatic, but it does mean that Helm is clear about his rationale for this approach to preparation and preaching. Besides preaching on a regular basis Helm also serves as the executive director of the Charles Simeon Trust. I have participated in one of the Trust's workshops and found that Helm's work here closely parallels the approach of the Trust to preaching, making this book a good tool in augmenting what is already my primary approach to preaching. I highly commend this book to all people who would like to grow in their ability to understand and proclaim God's word.
