Book Synopsis Preaching the Parables by : Richard Louie Sheffield
Download or read book Preaching the Parables written by Richard Louie Sheffield and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Sheffield preaches and writes with clarity and conviction. He has a rare gift of interpreting parables so they are accessible to his audience while retaining their heavenly truth for our lives. He has a heart for God, and that comes through in this book. Rev. David E. Gray Former Acting Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of Labor Presbyterian Chaplain, American University When Richard Sheffield sang "I Love to Tell the Story" as a child, he never dreamed that he would end up telling that age-old story for his life's work. Yet "telling the story" is a vital form of communication for preachers and the most effective way to reach audiences with God's powerful plan of salvation. People love to hear stories, sing about stories, and tell stories -- but above all, they remember stories! Jesus knew this; indeed, he was a master storyteller himself. Jesus' most powerful sermons -- the parables -- were simply earthly stories with heavenly meanings, using such common imagery as salt and light, sheep, a mustard seed, weeds, lamps with oil, and workers in a vineyard. Preaching the Parables expands on fourteen of Jesus' parables appearing in Cycle A of the Revised Common Lectionary and brings them into a more modern setting. In Sheffield's hands, the stories he loves to tell are as varied as familiar songs in the hymnal: he uses the children's song "The Wise Man Built His House upon the Rock" as a springboard for a vivid portrayal of the difference between wise and foolish builders; "This Little Light of Mine" provides further insight into Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5; and the plaintive wail of "The Ninety and Nine" reminds us -- just like Luke 15 -- that if we were the only wandering sheep, our wonderful shepherd would seek for us until we were found. The parables of Jesus as familiar, predictable Sunday school stories? Not when Richard Sheffield is doing the preaching and teaching! This book is must reading for Christians who seek a lifelong Christ-centered faith. Ginny Thornburgh Director of Religion and Disability Program, National Organization on Disability Member, Board of Trustees, Princeton Theological Seminary Richard Louie Sheffield is senior pastor of Georgetown Presbyterian Church in Washington DC. He has previously served congregations in Ohio, Massachusetts, and New York. Sheffield holds degrees from Georgia State University (A.B.), the University of Chicago (M.B.A.), Princeton Theological Seminary (M.Div.), and Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary (D.Min.).

Book Synopsis Preaching Parables to Postmoderns by : Brian Stiller
Download or read book Preaching Parables to Postmoderns written by Brian Stiller and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preachers, in their call to preach the Scriptures, are not only charged with the responsibility of speaking its truth but of speaking in such a way that people of this age and culture understand. To do this, the preacher builds a bridge between todays people and the gospel of both testaments. For some, this task is more difficult than for others. Preaching to those living in an inner-city housing project is far removed from an outpost mission in the two-thirds world. Each community has its own way of thinking and attaches different values to symbols of its own making. For those called preach to a generation raised on MTV and late-night comedians or those rooted in various economic culturesfrom governmentsponsored jobs overseen by union bosses to entrepreneurial dot-com companiesor generations stretching from high school students to "freedom fifty-fivers," the task is enormous. When one adds to that the complexity of a radical shift in underlying intellectual and cultural assumptions, the task of preaching becomes even more complicated.
Book Synopsis Preaching the Parables by : John R. Brokhoff
Download or read book Preaching the Parables written by John R. Brokhoff and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 1987-06 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The parables of Jesus are timeless stories -- and with the current popularity of narrative preaching, the parables are a familiar topic in the contemporary pulpit. But preaching on the parables is not as easy as it looks at first glance. Should we simply tell the parable in our own words and let it stand on its own feet, or is its lesson most effectively communicated by constructing a sermon around the central theme? Or should the preacher spiritualize the parable by probing for allegorical meaning? Master homiletician John Brokhoff aids preachers in answering these key questions with rigorous and enlightening background information on parables from Mark and John appearing in Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary. He offers not only exegesis and interpretation for each passage, but also rich material for sermon development, suggested outlining approaches, and preaching illustrations. Parables included are: - The Doorkeeper (Mark 13:32-37) - The Good Shepherd (John 10:11-18) - The True Vine (John 15:1-8) - A Strong Man (Mark 3:20-25) - The Miracle Seed (Mark 4:26-34) - Bread To Eat (John 6:35, 41-51) - Eat The Bread (John 6:51-58) A popular preacher, teacher, and writer, John R. Brokhoff served as Professor of Homiletics at Candler School of Theology, Emory University from 1965 to 1979. Prior to that he pastored Lutheran congregations in Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Brokhoff is the recipient of the George Washington medal from the Freedom Foundation of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, and is the author of many CSS titles, including This You Can Believe and Pray Like Jesus.

Book Synopsis Stories with Intent by : Klyne R. Snodgrass
Download or read book Stories with Intent written by Klyne R. Snodgrass and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 917 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2009 Christianity Today Award for Biblical Studies, Stories with Intent offers pastors and students a comprehensive and accessible guide to Jesus' parables. Klyne Snodgrass explores in vivid detail the historical context in which these stories were told, the part they played in Jesus' overall message, and the ways in which they have been interpreted in the church and the academy. Snodgrass begins by surveying the primary issues in parables interpretation and providing an overview of other parables—often neglected in the discussion—from the Old Testament, Jewish writings, and the Greco-Roman world. He then groups the more important parables of Jesus thematically and offers a comprehensive treatment of each, exploring both background and significance for today. This tenth anniversary edition includes a substantial new chapter that surveys developments in the interpretation of parables since the book's original 2008 publication.

Book Synopsis Parables Workbook by : John F. MacArthur
Download or read book Parables Workbook written by John F. MacArthur and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus was a master storyteller, and the parables He told were ingeniously simple word pictures. Some of them were no more than fleeting remarks about commonplace incidents, objects, or persons. In fact, the most compact of all Jesus' short stories does not even fill a complete verse of Scripture. Yet the all were filled with profound spiritual lessons that He wanted His listeners to hear and understand. Jesus told these parables so they would clearly comprehend His message about the kingdom of God and the reason He had come to earth. In the Parables Workbook, master expositor and Bible commentator John MacArthur draws on his years spent studying and explaining the Word of God to guide readers through some of the most famous and influential short stories that Jesus told. Each session contains the following: Biblical focus: the primary passages on which the session draws Another look: questions to facilitate review of content in the book Biblical connections: questions that focus on the main Bible passage Highlighting the lesson: questions that focus on the central teaching points Lasting implications: questions to help draw out personal conclusions Daily assignments: five sets of questions that reflect on the parable, the point, the purpose, the principles, and the practical application This workbook has been designed to enhance readers' experience of reading the book and is intended both for individual use and for study in a small-group setting.
