About this ebook
Reignite your deepest passion for good preaching. Renew your commitment to developing sermons that work to stimulate, encourage, and motivate your hearers to follow God.
Lloyd John Ogilvie, former U.S. Senate chaplain and longtime pastor of Hollywood Presbyterian Church, will be a strong and motivating companion as he guides you to
- deeply consider who you’re preaching to and the needs they have
- answer life-relevant questions through diligent study of the Word
- build a sermon that flows well, from introduction to conclusion
- confront lack of passion and fear of failure in your own heart
- guard your inner life and build a fellowship of accountability around you
If you want to give sermons that work to draw people to the truth of God’s Word and then send them into the world in the power of Jesus Christ, A Passionate Calling will help you fulfill that godly desire.
