Preaching To Be Heard by O'Neill Lucas

"If a sermon is preached in a church and no one is listening, does it make a difference?"There are many expository preachers who forego dynamic delivery and many dynamic preachers who lose sight of faithfully communicating the biblical text. Too often preachers feel they have to choose one or the other. But dynamic delivery and faithful exposition are not mutually exclusive.In Preaching to Be Heard, Lucas O''Neill shows pastors that presenting engaging sermons that are biblically focused is not an impossibility. In fact, the key to commanding attention lies in the text itself. Rather than relying on tricks or gimmicks, his approach to sermon writing focuses on maintaining tension throughout while sticking close to the biblical text. Using practical examples and a step-by-step method, O''Neill shows pastors how relying on the inherent anticipation within Scripture can lead to sermons that are powerful-and heard.
