Thanks for the recommendations, Brian =D.

Yeah, I think when some people hear even the word “Greek” or “Hebrew” (or “theology”) their minds just go numb.

If I may, one of my favorites is Michael Quicke’s 360 Degree Preaching – it’s just a good read. My other favorite is Sidney Greidnus’s The Modern Preacher and the Ancient Text.

I too has the problem of nearly giving an exegetical lecture but I think that can be avoided when we move past the need to say the specific words “Greek” or “Hebrew” – instead just explain what the Greek or Hebrew say/means without saying the words “Greek” or “Hebrew.”

You are right though – Biblical Preaching is just not easy to do.

Hehe, yeah— When I was a youth pastor, I started out “lecturing” as well, I think. One of the best books ever is “Christ-Centered Preaching: Redeeming the Expository Sermon,” by Brian Chapell. I highly recommend what little I have thus far read!

Homiletics and Expository Preaching were the most surprisingly hard classes I’ve ever taken. There is a lot more to a sermon than simply picking out a verse or two and making a speech. I learned that the hard way. Mine kept coming out like lectures. LOL.
