Power Preaching for Church Growth: The Role of Preaching in Growing Churches
Do pastors and church leaders today really need a wake-up call to return to the apostolic priorities of preaching and prayer as the primary means to accomplish church growth? In an age in which the church has become infatuated with pragmatism, success models, sociological methodologies, management techniques and marketing, the answer is a resounding "Yes." The goal of this book is to exhort and encourage pastors and church leaders to escape the full court press of expediency and to restart as offense of biblical priorities and methods. The church will not impact society until she regains her love for preaching and a no-compromise commitment to sound, biblical exposition.
The value of this book is that it not only shows us where the problems are but gives us a healthy reminder of the essentiality of prayer and preaching.
Foreword by John MacArthur.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“...peppered with many "Quotations for your Encouragement"... It offers no 'quick fix' for the church in our day, but it does call us back to be preachers of the word, dependent upon God.”
Iain D. Campbell
“His constructive criticism of the Church Growth Movement points us to a better way forward - the approach of the book of Acts.”
Michael Horton
“If this book is heeded, a great change will come over us. Tender, prayerful preachers will proclaim God's truth with superhuman authority.”
Stuart Olyott
“I thank God for this book... it is a gentle wake-up call not only for the Church Growth Movement, but also for my church and yours.”
John MacArthur
“...nothing has weakened the church more than the neglect of preaching in favour of pragmatic techniques for church growth. Dave Eby's searching analysis uncovers both the problem and the solution... We dare not ignore it.”
John Blanchard
“Dave Eby has put his finger on something very crucial, namely the absence of any emphasis on preaching in the Church Growth Movement... its focus on the book of Acts is compelling.”
