How to Preach for a Funeral - Stephen K. Preus

Descriere

nThis booklet intends to aid preachers in the sacred task of being as clear as possible when preaching funeral sermons. When pastors do not preach certain topics clearly, their ambiguity can become an invitation for hearers to fill the vacuum with unscriptural ideas that supplant the divine truth. Drawing from his own pastoral experience and from conversations with other pastors, Stephen Preus addresses eight key topics, briefly walking through how not to fall prey to imprecision, so that the preacher does not inadvertently distract from Christ and the hope we have in Him. He also provides eight masterfully crafted sermons, which demonstrate both the clarity he has striven to achieve himself, and how the truth may be preached with all the kindness and gentleness of the heart of a loving and faithful pastor.n
