Publisher's Description

▼▲

Why on earth does anyone need a guide on how to listen to sermons? Don't we simply need to 'be there' and stay awake? Yet Jesus said: 'Consider carefully how you listen.' The fact is, much more is involved in truly listening to Bible teaching than just sitting and staring at the preacher.

Christopher Ash outlines seven ingredients for healthy listening. He then deals with how to respond to bad sermons - ones that are dull, or inadequate, or heretical. And finally, he challenges us with ideas for helping and encouraging our Bible teachers to give sermons that will really help us to grow as Christians.

• Where does the authority of a Bible teacher come from?
• Why is Bible teaching offensive?
• Why is it important to hear Bible teaching in church?
• How can we actually enjoy Bible teaching more?

These (and more) are the questions answered by this practical guide, which includes effective, hands-on suggestions for implementing each idea. All with the aim of helping us learn how to listen properly, so that through His word, God will make us more and more Christ like.

'We give Listen Up to all our new members' - Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church

Editorial Reviews

▼▲

Provides crucial theology and practical advice about listening that can make the difference between life and death in the church. -- R Kent Hughes (Senior Pastor Emeritus, College Church in Wheaton)

We just don’t have teaching and training on how to listen to sermons. Christopher Ash shows what a gaping hole that omission leaves. -- Rico Tice (Founder, Christianity Explored Ministries)

New, fresh, wise, and personally convicting. A must-read for anyone serious about growing as a Christian. -- Andrew Reid (Ridley College, Melbourne)

A great resource to help grow a new generation of believers who both tremble at God’s word and are changed by it. -- Vaughan Roberts (Rector, St Ebbe’s Church, Oxford)

We give Listen Up to all our new members. -- Mark Dever (Sr. Pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church)

Here’s a question for you. Think back to church last week. What was the sermon about? Have a think. What passage in the Bible was it from? Do you remember the main points from the sermon? Can you remember any of the applications the preacher made? -- Phil Dunn

The content is spot on; the challenge not always comfortable. It includes ‘How to listen to bad sermons’ (and get better ones), but not ‘How to preach to bad listeners’; others may cover that. The preacher who knows his hearers have read this will preach all the better for it. -- Christopher Idle
