Christ was not a boring preacher! “How wonderful it would be,” says Stuart Olyott in the introduction to this book, “if Christian preachers all over the world were ministering like their Master!” Using examples from Christ's preaching in the Gospels, Olyott challenges today's preachers with three elements of their Master's ministry. Christ's style and method were not boring, but exciting and engaging. Christ's preaching was evangelistic. Christ's ministry was more than just preaching: his whole life was ministry. In a fresh, compelling, and practical way, Olyott steers preachers away from some of the dangers and pitfalls that could hinder their success. In doing so, he shows us how essential Christ's example is for those who seek to minister in his name today.
