One Sermon, Not a String of Them

Posted on Thursday, February 13, 2014 by Douglas Wilson - 1 comment

“It has often been said that a sermon should be about one thing. To be more accurate, the perfect sermon has one angle, one purpose, one rhetorical tie, and one psychological center” (Galli & Larson, Preaching That Connects, p. 56).

An Integrated Whole

Posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2014 by Douglas Wilson

“The human body, like the sermon, does many things at once . . . The sermon, like the human body, does many things at once, though this is not grasped by the novice” (Galli & Larson, Preaching That Connects, p. 47).

Love That Leaves the Pulpit

Posted on Monday, February 10, 2014 by Douglas Wilson

Posted on Saturday, February 8, 2014 by Douglas Wilson - 1 comment
