Dr. Aaron Chapmans expressions on efficacious expository preaching is a masterpiece. It is a must read for aspiring expositors and for the tenured preacher. I am encouraged to keep pressing for a higher level in this calling because of this book (Pastor C. L. Mayes; Macedonia Baptist Church, Toledo, Ohio; national evangelist). A library must have, is this soul-searching, conscious-pricking discourse of self examination of ones calling and commitment to make full proof of their fervor towards the call to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Dr. Aaron Chapmans masterpiece: Im Called to Preach Now What? is an emphatic dissuading of preachers from becoming pirates plunderers and predators, of the sweet pain of another preachers production and performance. If the passion to preach will effectively move from print to proclamation, one will fare well to embrace this theorem: Monday is Tuesday. Tuesday is Wednesday. Wednesday is Friday. Saturday is for meditation. And all of a sudden, its Sunday! Now what? (Pastor Tellis Chapman; Galilee Baptist Church; NBC Late Night president). Dr. Aaron Chapman offers us a practical and thorough format for beginning and continuing the development of sermons. Preachers everywhere can learn again how to do sermonizing. As a teacher of preaching and mentor to numerous preachers across generations, Im particularly fascinated with Dr. Chapmans freshness and creativity. I recommend this reading to anyone who wants to be challenged toward authenticity and integrity in sermon development and delivery. This work is anchored in the rich history of homiletics while sprouting dynamic images for creative and dynamic possibilities for the future of preaching. This book should be read again and again by those who preach in order to remain relevant and impactful (E. L. Branch; Third New Hope Baptist Church, Detroit; homiletics professor, Ashland Seminary).

Illustrated with personal and historical stories, Harvey explores biblical and practical principles for determining the pastoral call.

This book will guide you through that all-important process with wisdom and confidence in God's faithfulness in your life.

“The church has needed this book for a long time.” — Russell Moore If you are considering the ministry, there are two mistakes to avoid. The first is taking up a calling that isn’t yours. The second is neglecting one that is. Discerning Your Call to Ministry will help you know the difference. A tool for seminary students, pastors-in-training, and even current pastors, it serves to confirm or prompt deep thought about the calling to ministry through 10 probing questions, including: Do you desire the ministry? Does your church affirm your calling? Do you love the people of God? Are you willing to surrender? Pastoral dropout rates are high, and seminary admission rates are declining—signs that many of us don’t quite know what we’re signing ourselves up for. Author Jason Allen, a former pastor and the president of North America’s fastest growing seminary, gives readers a better picture of the calling. Presenting a series of diagnostic questions informed by Scripture, church history, and his own experience, he helps those seeking ordination or ministry positions make confident decisions about their service to God, one way or the other.

Many sermons preached today lack the divine knowledge and spiritual understanding available only through dynamic expository preaching. In Preaching: How to Preach Biblically, John MacArthur’' well-known passion for the Bible combines with the expertise of faculty members at The Master's Seminary to inspire and equip preachers in effective biblical preaching. Preaching: How to Preach Biblically flows from biblical foundations for expository preaching through a detailed process of developing expositions and creating sermons to the actual delivery of expository messages, connecting what pastors learn in seminary with the sermons preached in a local church. This volume shows how to progress purposefully from one phase to the next in preparing to minister to God's people through preaching. This book answers these questions and more: What is expository, biblical preaching? What are the theological and historical foundations for insisting on expository preaching? What are the steps involved in preparation for and participation in biblical preaching? What models exist for expository preaching today? The Master's Seminary faculty, with over thirty years' experience in preaching and seminary training of preachers, contributes a treasury of expertise alongside insights from expositor John MacArthur. While united on their commitment to exposition, the variety of individual expressions and methodological preferences discussed offers beneficial assistance for any preacher seeking a higher level of expository excellence.

A man who's been transformed by Christ and desires to preach the gospel might say he feels called to be a pastor. This personal conviction, while heartfelt, doesn't acknowledge important, challenging steps necessary to be a qualified leader. So where should full-time ministry begin? In The Path to Being a Pastor, Bobby Jamieson explains why it's better to emphasize "aspiration" over "calling" as men pursue the office of elder and encourages readers to make sure they are pastorally gifted before considering the role. He shares from his own eleven-year experience preparing to be a pastor by walking potential leaders through different stages of ministry training, from practical steps—such as cultivating godly ambition and leadership, observing healthy churches, and mastering Scripture—to personal advice on building a strong family and succeeding in seminary. Emphasizing the importance of prayer, godly counsel, and immersion in the local church, Jamieson encourages men to ask Am I qualified? instead of Am I called? when considering a life in ministry.

What is Christ's calling to you? You may be seeking an answer; you may be avoiding the question, but when the Lord calls, he will be answered. God's call came suddenly to Elisha; he was plowing a field when Elijah cast the prophet's mantle on him. Levi was in a toll booth, and Peter held a fishing net when Jesus called them. But how does the Lord call today? You have not been blinded by a heavenly light on the road to Damascus, but you are ready to say with Saul of Tarsus, "Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?" How does the Lord answer that question? - Introduction.
