Engaged: Preaching that Draws People Closer to God

By Lloyd Etheridge

Why is it that so much preaching explains the Bible clearly yet leaves people unchanged? Why do sermons faithfully unpack Scripture but still fail to draw listeners into a deeper, wholehearted relationship with God?

Many preachers sense a gap they struggle to name. Countless books teach how to understand the Bible technically or communicate it accurately, but far fewer explore how Scripture can be proclaimed so that people encounter God Himself - responding to Him, not merely learning about Him.

Engaged: Preaching that Draws People Closer to God serves as a companion to careful biblical study. It calls preachers to proclaim God's Word in a way that genuinely draws people to Him. Learning from Christians across times and cultures-not just twentieth-century Western literary techniques-it gathers wisdom that equips preachers to lead their congregations into attentive, responsive, wholehearted engagement with the living God.
