Preaching Difficult Texts

Truth For Life - Alistair Begg

All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable. So why do preachers skip over some parts-- If the Holy Spirit inspired and included genealogies, border descriptions, Levitical offerings, and narratives that offend modern sensibilities, shouldn't pastors preach them-- And shouldn't preachers be able to capture and hold a congregation's attention even in such passages-- In this breakout session, Hershael York, dean of the School of Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, teaches preachers how to preach these notoriously difficult texts in a manner that both reveals their purpose in God's revelation and holds a listener's interest.
