Preaching is the primary task of every pastor and the indispensable ingredient of every healthy church. From the prophets of old to 21st century pastors, God has chosen preaching as His primary means to call out his children and to nourish his people. Not just any kind of preaching will do, however. Too many churches are subjected to shallow sermons delivered by shallow men. Sermons that are void of Scripture—and the Christ of Scripture—are powerless to save or sanctify. Such undernourished churches need to be fed Christ-centered, Bible-saturated sermons. As this is the case, they will know greater ministry vigor and gospel health.

To this end, Jared Wilson and the For the Church editorial team,
have compiled But We Preach Christ Crucified: Preachers on
Preaching. The chosen theme for this e-book—Preaching—is not
accidental or arbitrary. It is convictional. Strong churches enjoy
strong pulpits, and, for Midwestern Seminary, to be for the church is to be for the pulpit. Under Wilson’s skillful editorial eye, this collection of essays speaks to most every aspect of sermon preparation and delivery. BUT WE PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED: PREACHERS ON PREACHING.

It touches on the aspirational and the attitudinal, as well as the
textual and theological. The essays are penned by accomplished
practitioners, who embody the best of what preaching is to be.
