The Preaching Style Of Jesus with Jonathan Pennington

Описание: Jesus of Nazareth is the great Subject of our preaching and the Hero of our Sermons, but in what ways should Jesus be a role model in our preaching style and sermon construction? In this engaging conversation with Matthean scholar Dr Jonathan Pennington, Mike Neglia finds out in what ways the authoritative yet mysterious preaching of the Messiah is exemplary for contemporary expositors (and a few ways that He is NOT supposed to be our role-model).

Dr Pennington also speaks about the Beatitudes, human flourishing and ways to structure a sermon series the encompasses the entire Sermon on the Mount (and a little bit about heavy metal!)
