Product Highlights
Preaching. A high calling requiring men of God who know how to rightly divide the Word of truth, men who are in tune with heaven and who long to be God's mouthpiece here on earth. Such a calling demands prayer, time, the anointing of the Spirit, training, discipline, and the necessary tools to be an effective communicator. This material is not meant to take the place of your personal sermon preparation. Rather, its purpose is to supplement and enhance your own study of the Word and to provide you with direction, so that you know where you're leading your congregation and what you hope to accomplish in your preaching. You'll find helpful words of advice for the pastor from Dr. Stephen Olford, fifty-two single-page outlines to enable your congregation to follow along as you preach, fifty-two full outlines of solid biblical exegesis for each key text or passage, suggested illustrations and amplifications to save you time, a bibliography of books and commentaries for further reading and research, and much more. About Dr. Olford Dr. Olford was born in Zambia as the son of missionaries, Frederick and Bessie Olford. The Olfords had three sons, Stephen, Paul, and John. Stephen was raised in Angola, where he committed his life to Christ and witnessed first-hand the transforming power of God and His Word. Dr. Olford spent his college years in the United Kingdom. A crisis experience led to his full surrender to the Lord and his call into the ministry. After receiving ministry training, Dr. Olford was appointed an Army Scripture Reader during Word War II, and he launched a Young Peoples Christian fellowship in Newport, South Wales. After the war, Dr. Olford was involved in extensive evangelistic and preaching ministry throughout the U.K. and overseas. In 1953, Dr. Olford’s years of pastoral ministry began by serving the Duke Street Baptist Church in Richmond, Surrey England (1953-1959) and then the Calvary Baptist Church in New York City (1959-1973). He pioneered a Christian TV program, Encounter, in New York, and his Sunday morning services were broadcast around the world on radio. His weekly half-hour radio program, also called Encounter, aired in the United States and some overseas countries. Dr. and Mrs. Olford, and their son David, moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1985 to develop a training program and Center to encourage and equip preachers and teachers of God’s Word. Dr. Olford had already been involved in an extensive teaching, preaching, and writing ministry to help preachers, establishing the Institute for Biblical Preaching in 1980. In 1988 the Stephen Olford Center for Biblical Preaching was dedicated, and it remains the headquarters of Olford Ministries International. Dr. Stephen Olford was recognized nationally and internationally for his powerful exposition of Scripture and his Christ-centered ministry. In recent years, he has been viewed as a mentor and model to thousands of preachers, teachers, and pastors in the United States and around the world. Dr. Olford has received numerous awards, honorary degrees and distinctions. As an ordained Baptist minister and a conservative evangelical by conviction, Dr. Olford ministered across many denominational, cultural, and racial lines. Besides his extensive preaching ministry, Dr. Olford authored numerous books, booklets, and preaching resources. Dr. Olford’s influence upon thousands of pastors and preachers cannot be measured. He has had a significant role in the lives of many including his longtime friend Dr. Billy Graham. He has been called 'The Preacher's Preacher.' Dr. Olford was a beloved
