In this preaching class Stuart Olyott shows that “preaching is not the most important thing” and that “being an example is much more important than preaching.” Drawing on 1 Timothy 4:11, 1 Peter 5, and Ephesians 2:14–17, he explains why the “sort of life you live” must precede your words, why “little Jesus’s” must speak from a heart-to-heart place, and how true preaching is “the exposition and application of the word of God.” By focusing on character, conscience, and clear, Christ-centered illustration rather than mere lecture, Olyott equips pastors to leave their congregations “longing” rather than “loathing” at the close of a sermon.
