Description

Since the time of the Reformation and especially during the era of the Puritans, Christians have derived great benefit from reading edifying sermons. Christians today would do well to imitate godly saints of the past by supplementing their devotional diet with preaching in print.

As Joel R. Beeke says, “Though books of sermons do not tend to sell well today—unlike in Puritan times when nearly all their books were repackaged sermons—the reading of edifying sermons can still be a great blessing to God’s children today.”

This book presents thirty-six choice sermons from a veteran preacher who has also spent his career training ministers to faithfully preach God’s Word. These sermons cover a wide range of texts from Genesis to Revelation and treat a host of pertinent topics. Nevertheless, one grand theme resounds from each of them: Jesus Christ and how to live in Him, by Him, and out of Him. Each is spiritually beneficial, meant to help readers grow in spiritual maturation to the glory of the triune God.

Like Paul, the goal of every faithful preacher is to proclaim nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified (1 Cor. 2:2). This volume is evidence that Beeke’s two favorite things in life are to know Christ and to preach Christ. And as you read, by the Spirit’s grace, your love for Christ will deepen so that you shout from the heart, “For me to live is Christ!”

Endorsement

““His sermons are consistently Christ-centered and Christ-exalting, give evidence of careful textual exegesis and exposition, exemplify the experiential emphasis he has been consistently promoting throughout his entire ministry, are discriminatory in the rich Puritan tradition he so passionately promotes, and are filled with helpful and compelling applications that are extracted from the text. In short, given his lengthy tenure as homiletics professor, Dr. Beeke practices what he preaches!”
—Bartel Elshout, pastor of Kalamazoo Reformed Church
