Preaching and Preachers
by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones | Book Summary
Author: Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
|
The Holy Spirit is essential for preaching to be preaching. He must be involved in every aspect of the sermon from preparation to delivery. The main point of the sermon should come from the main point of the text. The Holy Spirit reveals this to the preacher and gives him the message. The preacher is a vessel used by God to deliver His message, not any message they think they should deliver. Preaching is theology coming through a man on fire to help the congregation have an encounter with God. In our day, there is a dearth of biblical preaching. There is a clear call to return to preaching as the Bible reveals it so that people may have an encounter with God. |
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) pastored at Westminster Chapel for thirty years. He originally trained to be a medical doctor and was in line to be one of the top physicians in the country, but God called him into the ministry. The effects of his ministry are still felt today.
Preaching and Preachers was originally delivered as a lecture series at Westminster Theological Seminary in 1969. They were given for those training to be preachers.
His other works include a nine-volume commentary set on Romans, Spiritual Depression, Studies in the Sermon on the Mount, Life in Christ Studies in First John, and Revival.

Overview:
Preaching is a work that only the church is equipped to do. It is the main task of the church and the main work of the preacher. Any other work is secondary. Preaching is essential because of the sinful condition of man and because of the Redeemer revealed in Scripture.
