Revd Dr Tim Keller is brilliant
... on Gospel Ministry on the Gospel Coalition website (1 hr video talk). (Thanks for the tip Rev'd Stuart Dean's Video Bar!).
The Gospel is verbal proclamation, Good News not advice, Doxological, Christocentrical, Deeply Transformational etc.
Funny, clear, engaging, passionate, affecting, challenging.
Most evangelical preaching is too much like a Bible commentary - information for the mind, Keller argues. We need to make an impression, preach to the heart, the whole person, neither just the head or the emotions or conscience etc.
Keller says: I don't mind if people want to take notes on my sermon but I think I've failed if they're still taking notes at the end! He wants them not to give up, bored and lost, but to be too gripped to write!
