  • Four Things We Learned About Preaching: Season Finale

    Four Things We Learned About Preaching: Season Finale
    Nov 22 2021
    In this episode, co-hosts Matt Woodley and Kevin Miller reflect on what they learned about preaching, over the last four seasons of Monday Morning Preacher.  Here are the top lessons they learned in the last four years:  1.     Preaching the Word of God changes lives.  2.     Preaching is something that we never master.  3.     God uses ordinary preachers.  4.     When you do sermon prep and preach – immerse yourself in the Bible scene.  Matt said “God uses ordinary preachers, not just the superstars, not just the people with the big platforms, not just the people with the big venues but God uses ordinary preachers, sometimes in small towns, sometimes in small places.”  Your job as a preacher is to invite people into a whole new world, the life of the Kingdom of God.  Check out what was referenced on the podcast:   Wendell Berry’s poem “Like Snow” on Parabola.org.   “Stick the Landing” on Preachingtoday.com “Called to Faithful, Not Successful Preaching” on Preachingtoday.com   “How to Preach with a Biblical Imagination” on Preachingtoday.com  “Preaching as a Human Exercise Centered in Christ” on Preachingtoday.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Preaching With Both of Your Eyes Towards Christ

    Preaching With Both of Your Eyes Towards Christ
    Nov 8 2021
    How can you keep Christ at the center of your preaching? In this episode, Matt Woodley explores that question with Bryan Chapell, the Stated Clerk for the Presbyterian Church in America. In his early years of preaching, Chapel wanted to both teach and reach people. Later, he learned how to restore people, build on his ministry, inspire other preachers, and unite in a common cause.As a young pastor, Chapell’s message in sermons was “straighten up, fly right and do better.” But that message started to crush him, and he was convicted to preach the redemptive grace of Christ to his people.

  • Christmas Preaching and The Loneliness of The Holy Family

    Christmas Preaching and The Loneliness of The Holy Family
    Oct 26 2021
    How can you bring a fresh angle to your next Christmas sermon? In this episode, Matt Woodley explores that question with Timothy Clarke, senior pastor at First Church of God in Columbus, Ohio. Here are four people from the Biblical narrative, that you can encourage your listeners empathize with: Zachariah and Elizabeth: the loneliness of disappointment, for her barrenness Joseph: the loneliness he felt, trying to decide how to proceed with Mary, given the complex situation before them Mary: the loneliness she felt, in miraculously conceiving the infant Jesus and being ostracized for it “The incarnation says God became a human being!” Clarke said. He indicated that the incarnation alone is reason enough to be excited, and should offer plenty of material for Christmas preaching. Check out the show-notes:  Thy hymn “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” written by Charles Wesley Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Love Jesus & Preaching? Must listen

Super encouraging. Always done well. Preaching is not getting people to do things they don't want to do. It's about getting them to love Jesus more.
