From Duke to North Carolina (a pilgrimage of preaching . . . and college basketball). The difference between looking at the Bible and looking through the Bible. Pastors are competitive? No, say it isn’t so. Finding a group of pastors to root for and debrief with might be an antidote for grinding away in isolation. Learning about preaching by doing biography work on voices from the past. The joy of preaching from a passage you have never preached from. When you put a sermon together, do one thing, and do one thing well.
Today on the Teaching Pastor Podcast we chat with Mike Paquarello, the Lloyd John Ogilvie Professor of Preaching at Fuller Theological Seminary
Listen to one of Mike’s sermons here at the Fuller Studio site.

Preaching for creating a church culture that fosters racial reconciliation. Starting your sermon prep with a devotional reading of the text where you write out your passage phrase-by-phrase and line-by-line. If you are struggling with church growth, you might consider a weekly “offering sermon.” Every sermon needs a “through line.” And we have a good conversation about what it means to do funerals. In this episode of the Teaching Pastor we visit the campus of Fuller Theological Seminary to talk with Lisa Lamb, professor of preaching

When was the last time you preached through Ezekiel? (Heck, when was the last time I even read through a Major Prophet from start to finish?) What sort of tensions exist when you move into the weird and wild world of Exilic Apocalyptic literature and prophetic street theater in a Jewish refugee camp? How many chapters are in Ezekiel? In this Episode of the Teaching Pastor we circle back around with Dave Gundlach (Episode 2), Teaching Pastor at Grace Fellowship Church in Costa Mesa and we geek out about the factors leading up to preaching through the book of Ezekiel.
If you would like to listen to some of Dave’s messages through Ezekiel, here are links below to his messages, as well as some of the resources that he made use of and put before the congregation.
