PREACH THE WORD, cracks the preaching code for all God's people to preach with clarity, confidence and authority. If Biblical preaching is the communication of the mind of God in Scripture to the people of God for the purpose of salvation, the preacher ought to know what God is saying in Scripture to deliver it to the audience. The most important part of the preaching process is to catch the Dominant Idea God is expressing in a given passage of Scripture. The reason for cloudy sermons is that many preachers (lay or pros) fail to find the Dominant Idea in the sermon process. And if the preacher is unsure of the Dominant Idea, you can be sure the congregation will have no idea what he or she is preaching in the pulpit. That's why the sermonic design process in this book, Preach The Word, is represented in two phases of Hearing from God and Delivering what is heard to God's people. Thus the subtitle: The Process of Hearing and Preaching the Word of God.
