One of my favorite books of the Bible is James. In particular I love the practicality of his letter and the exhortations to live into our calling as Christians. I was struck reading James 3:1-12 about the power of words, particularly those of teachers and preachers, people of influence. As a preacher I decided it would be a good idea to preach to myself on this matter, to weigh the power of my words and train the tongue. This sermon is for a class here at Gordon-Conwell Theol

Here are two sermons that were recorded in class at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. There are some things I believe I did well and many more things that I’m sure were done poorly. The class gave helpful feedback to continue to sharpen my skills as a preacher. If you would like both sermons from PR 602 (Preaching to Modern Listeners) and PR 722 (Preaching, Persuasion and Leadership) are below.
