The Substance-Structure-Spirit-Summons Model of Text-Driven Exposition

  Text-driven expositional preaching transcends style but serves as a lightning rod for the conviction that the Holy Spirit speaks through the text. Moreover, the text of Scripture informs the sermon’s meaning through the substance, structure, spirit, and summons. Therefore, a faithful, expository preacher must represent the text—employing explanation, illustration, and application—in the same manner of persuasion as the original author and allow the text’s nature to drive the sermon’s meaning. [1] I. A. Richards wrote, “Persuasion is only one among the aims of discourse. [Exposition] is concerned to state a view, not to persuade people to agree or to do anything more than examine it.” [2] The text-driven model demonstrates that exposition alone cannot move the congregation toward further godliness. Instead, complete dependence upon the Holy Spirit through recreating the original declaration of the text lies at the heart of text-driven preaching’s conviction that God has spoken. ...

Different Not Weird: Engaging Gen Z and Beyond with the Gospel

                                One of the most significant challenges within each generation of the church is adapting to engage with the next generation. The values that impacted the “ Boomer Generation” (1955–1965), “Generation X” (1966–1977), “Millennials” (1978–1994), and “Generation Z” (1995–2012) vary wildly. [1] However, knowing which values are essential helps contextualize the gospel, revealing its relevance to the person to whom you are speaking. This approach moves beyond just engaging Gen Z. This article strives to illuminate the values of Gen Z and provide conversation points for bridging the gap and connecting to Christ. Understanding the Gen Z Culture To reach Gen Z with the gospel begins with a critical understanding of their culture. Understanding the culture of Gen Z gives clues into what they have deemed to value. Gen Z has been identified as the most racially diverse generation and ...

Why the Apostolic Kerygma Still Matters

  If you are anything like I was, you are asking yourself, “What the heck is the apostolic kerygma ?” The kerygma has historically and theologically been understood as “the essential elements of the Christian gospel message.” [1] The apostolic kerygma stands as a clear understanding of what the apostles would have preached.  This understanding provides clarity in defining what constitutes the “gospel” in the church. But why is this important? Actually, it is vitally important for several reasons. First, there are three primary theological views of the apostolic kerygma: the British School, the German School, and the Anglican School. The British school basically teaches a formulaic approach to the apostles' preaching of the gospel (the death, burial, and resurrection). The German School was focused on the experiential aspects of the gospel. In other words, it wasn’t about what was preached but the experience between the preacher and the hearer that mattered. Finally, the A...
