Why I Chose to Preach on Job - Reformation21 - 1 views

Preaching Difficult Books of the Bible

shared by Maarten Kuivenhoven on 30 Oct 09 - Cached
  • I recall with a sense of responsibility a comment one of those above mentioned mentors and models of ministry made to the effect that as preachers our calling is not only to expound the text to our people but to model how to read and understand the text for our people. One goal of my ministry, God helping me, is to try to equip our little congregation to handle the Bible well for themselves.
  • It was an experience that reinforced a growing conviction that unless pastors visit their people and know them, their ability to pastor them well from the pulpit will be greatly impaired.
  • My second reason for selecting Job was more directly pastoral. In the course of pastoral visitation and counseling I became increasingly aware of the numbers of people in the congregation who were hurting, confused, depressed, wondering where God was in their trials.

  • And that takes me to another reason for preaching on Job and that is its polemic and apologetic value. We minister in a context where Christians are bombarded with books and resources offering them their best life now. It can therefore be a deeply disillusioning experience to discover that the program for health and wealth and happiness we have bought into was void of real resources to deliver on its promises.
  • And finally we turned to the book of Job because, when read in canonical context, it is impossible not to find lines of connection with the central story of scripture focused on Jesus Christ. In short, Job is a gospel book.
  • If there was a single lesson preaching Job has reinforced for me it would be that pastoral care informs the pulpit, and when it does the pulpit in turn accomplishes effective pastoral care.

Ministry Leadership Willow Keller

shared by David Murray on 01 Oct 09 - Cached
  • John Frame's 'tri-perspectivalism' helps me understand Willow. The Willow Creek style churches have a 'kingly' emphasis on leadership, strategic thinking, and wise administration. The danger there is that the mechanical obscures how organic and spontaneous church life can be. The Reformed churches have a 'prophetic' emphasis on preaching, teaching, and doctrine. The danger there is that we can have a naïve and unBiblical view that, if we just expound the Word faithfully, everything else in the church -- leader development, community building, stewardship of resources, unified vision -- will just happen by themselves. The emerging churches have a 'priestly' emphasis on community, liturgy and sacraments, service and justice. The danger there is to view 'community' as the magic bullet in the same way Reformed people view preaching
