#163 | What Commentaries Should I Use?

Welcome to The On Preaching Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you to preach faithfully, clearly, and better.  The sermon preparation is a twofold process of getting the text right and getting the truth across.  In terms of biblical exegesis (getting the text across), I commend to you the inductive Bible study process:   Observation: What does the text say?  Interpretation: What does the text mean? Application: How does the text apply? Correlation: How does the text relate?  In this episode, H.B. focuses on doing observations. The tools you need for this part of your word work are a Bible, something to take on, and the illumination of the Holy Spirit.  What should you look for in observations?   Key words. Key places.  Key people.  Vital statistics.  Figurative language.  Literary genre.  Diagnostic questions.  Circles of context.  Cross-references.  Passage structure.  Rhetorical functions.  What's not stated.  Dominating theme.  Authorial intent.  Gospel focus.  Practical implications.  Sanctified brainstorming.   For contact, information, or resources, visit hbcharlesjr.com.

#162 | What to Look for in Observations

Welcome to The On Preaching Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you preach faithfully, clearly, and better.  In this episode, H.B. discusses theological disciplines for expository preaching.  As a student and advocate of expository preaching, I believe that it is the most faithful way to handle God's word.  The bottom line of this episode is that faithful exposition is theologically informed. It should be doctrinal, not merely devotional. Beyond the exegetical text work, theological reflection should shape your sermon preparation.  What are the theological disciplines for expository preaching?   Biblical Theology Historical Theology  Systematic Theology  Practical Theology  For contact, information, or resources, visit hbcharlesjr.com.     

#161 | Theological Disciplines for Expository Preaching

Welcome to The On Preaching Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you preach faithfully, clearly, and better.  In this episode, H.B. talks about how to find sermon illustrations.  We preachers often look for illustrative material by subject (prayer, love, forgiveness, etc). But there is another way. You can also look for illustrations by focusing on four persons or groups.   You. Somebody.  Nobody. Everybody.   For contact, information, or resources, visit hbcharlesjr.com. 

#161 | 4 Persons to Use in Your Illustrations

Welcome to The On Preaching Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you preach faithfully, clearly, and better.  In this episode of the podcast, H.B. discusses four sentences that will improve your preaching. That may seem to be a big promise. But carefully crafting these sentences will truly help you to get the text right and get the truth across.  What are the four sentences that will improve your preaching?   The Text Summary The Main Idea  The Probing Question  The Transitional Sentence   For contact, information, and/or resources, visit hbcharlesjr.com.
