A theology of preaching
What's your theology of preaching? You're a preacher, right – so you must have a theology of preaching. Or else, why are you doing what you're doing?
I don't think this is such a bonkers question as it seems. Take the test:
- How confident about your theology of preaching would you say you are? Can you articulate your views biblically and succinctly?
- Do your church leaders share your theology of preaching? When did you last talk to them about it? What do they understand is going on when someone preaches?
- Does your church congregation share your theology of preaching? It's easy to find out. Listen in at the church prayer meeting.
Hmm. A slightly convicting list. For me, anyway. I've been thinking about this because I'm preparing a sermon for NWA on preaching. More on that tomorrow. For now, I reckon there's enough for you (and I) to be getting on with.
