Learning to Preach – Books to Help You

Posted on May 27, 2008

[amazon cover 0800629973]One of the most frequently asked questions that new preachers ask is where is a book to help me learn to preach? There are actually tons of such books. I have written on this question in the past on this website as well as another one. Even though that is true, I will take it up again in this article. I think that an African American Preacher needs a few resources to help them to preach.

Preaching with Imagination

Posted on May 22, 2008

[amazon cover 0801057574]One of the important components of effective preaching is to help the congregation experience the sermon in as many sense as possible, not just hear the sermon.

R. H. Harris – The Greatest Singer You Never Heard

Posted on May 20, 2008

[amazon cover B000000QMM]Everyone has heard of Sam Cooke. Many Gospel music lovers know that he began in Gospel singing some of the greatest songs that can even still be heard today.

From “Wonderful” to “Jesus be a Fence to Touch the Hem,” you can still hear the music made and remade. However few know of the man that influenced both Cooke and much of Gospel music. The man’s name is R. H. Harris. Cooke followed R. H. Harris in the Soul Stirrers.

Sermons of the Black Church – God Will Fix Me

Posted on May 20, 2008

Preachers in the Black church tradition preach many messages. However there are a few that jump out at you. In this series we first looked at the idea that God Will Hook You Up. That message is definitely in the tradition and we cannot forget it. However, in these days, many are ONLY preaching this message. In addition, some are preaching a distorted caricature of this message. But, God skillfully used this message to help Black folks through some dark days in America.

Need a Sermon? – Seeing God’s Healing Outline

Posted on May 19, 2008

The sermon should begin by telling the story of the man who brought his son to be healed by Jesus. The story should be told completely and in a way that people can feel, see, and touch the story. I would say that you tell the story from the centurion stopping Jesus up until Jesus told him that his servant shall be healed. Then give the three points. After that pick the story back up on the way home for the celebration.

Audio 22 – Preaching by Playing Words Like Notes

Posted on May 17, 2008

Audio 21 – Remembering and Black Preaching

Posted on May 14, 2008

How can we preach today? What do the ancestors and our current pastor/preachers have to tell us? In this audio we look at the importance of “remembering” three types of preachers from our past.

If we are to preach in these days we must remember our preaching mothers and fathers.

The Sermons of the Black Church – God Will Hook You Up

Posted on May 9, 2008

Remembering the Future: An African American Approach to Preaching

Posted on May 5, 2008

In 2007, the African American community finds itself in a treacherous situation. It is a time when middle class African Americans have more opportunities than many generations before now. African Americans are CEOs, entertainment personalities, and political leaders in both political parties. But during this time of seemingly relative prosperity the masses of the poor among us are still in terrible conditions.
