The Gospel Arc (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781725270633)

We need more than ever to be spoken back to life again. Our endless forms of self-activation in the church and culture today have proven to do little more than exhaust us, make us anxious, and ultimately disappoint and depress us. Despite our impressive effort, preaching has not escaped this prison of self-entanglement. Snoozing in the pew is now the good ol' days as more and more people report a pathological aversion to preaching. Perhaps there is a common thread--leaving Jesus behind. Leaving Jesus behind is the broken pattern of every human heart, even the preacher's. The Gospel Arc preaching model seeks to take Jesus with you in preaching. It is preaching that experiences Jesus with the Bible. Practically, the Gospel Arc helps biblical communicators discover and display the ""Textual Jesus"" from Genesis to Revelation, thereby unleashing divine energies to wake up the snoozer and finally electrify the self-activator. Taking Jesus with you in preaching changes everything. Even preachers. ""Can these bones live?"" God probes the preacher. Suffering from the inability to maintain a ministry, the preacher gives a lame non-answer. ""Preach to bones!"" God startles the preacher. As he does, stranger things happen. The bones live (Ezek 37:1-14).
