This introductory homiletics textbook gives students and pastors a step-by-step process for crafting and communicating biblical sermons that are theologically grounded, culturally aware, and spiritually formed
As we read through the Bible, it's common to encounter puzzling or confusing passages. This is especially the case with the Old Testament, since its time and cultural setting are so far removed from our own.

But if all Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, those passages were preserved for our benefit.
