Product Description
Dear Pastor,
“I would not have preachers torment their hearers, and detain them with long and tedious preaching, for the delight of hearing vanishes therewith, and the preachers hurt themselves.” — Martin Luther
The Great Reformer, Martin Luther, had much to say about preaching, and rightly so — preaching four to six times per week! In total, he preached an estimated 4,000 sermons in his lifetime.
So . . . he may know a thing or two about preaching.
Good thing for us — 500 years ago his students captured his thoughts on the subject. While sitting around his dinner table, Luther was asked by one student: What makes a good preacher?
He listed off, without detail or commentary, a profound list of the marks of a good preacher.
Fast forward to today. After a decade-long study (and a full library of books collected!) of Luther's life and preaching, I decided to put together my own practical commentary and insights on Luther’s list.
This is the first time I’ve taught on what might be called the “art of preaching” and I think it’s a very important growth area for us to look at as pastors.
In fact, as I’ve worked with growing churches, I’ve discovered that preaching can be another growth barrier. If we never step back to evaluate and look for ways to improve we might, as Luther says, “torment” our people and do serious damage to our ministry growth!
I’d like to help you develop in this area — so it’s a tool for life change instead of a barrier to growth. In this brand new resource, I’ve taken Martin Luther's marks of a good preacher and brought them to life in the context of today's preaching, giving you practical examples of how you can improve your preaching and live up to such a high standard.
This resource is for anyone who is a student of preaching or for the preacher who desires to be just a little bit better!
Luther set the bar high but with even some small adjustments, you will see Sunday-to-Sunday improvement and greater life transformation . By engaging with this high-level training, recorded live at my private coaching event, you'll walk away with historically grounded yet imminently relevant new skills that you can use week after week.
