Preaching the Scriptures
The African church needs preachers who preach the Scriptures to bring people to Christ and nurture them in faith. Yet many are failing at this task. Some use their sermons to promote themselves rather than Christ, while others do not know how to preach from the Scriptures. In this book Biwul addresses these problems. Using African stories and illustrations, he clearly sets out the process of preparing and delivering a sermon rooted in the Scriptures.
