What is the point of preaching? With so many agendas competing for pulpit time these days, it can be easy to forget the exact purpose of our Christian calling-to proclaim God's salvation through Jesus who died and is now resurrected. Preaching Evangelistically looks at the different elements of gospel preaching and how they are best used to effectively proclaim Jesus. They include: sermon setting, text selection, preparation, preaching with biblical authority, giving an invitation, and 'Hiding Behind the Cross As You Preach.' This book also includes three examples of evangelistic sermons from Al Fasol, Ralph Douglas West, and L. R. Scarborough.
