Nelson's Anual Preachers's Sourcebook Vol. 3.

There is no higher calling in life than to open the book of God to the people of God.

In our increasingly godless culture the question asked of the ancient prophet has never rung more true in the hearts of those who come to here us preach—“Is there any word from the Lord?” The contributors in this volume are all Bible believers, not necessarily Bible beaters.

They are young and old, well known and hardly known, widely published and unpublished, black and white, traditional and contemporary.

Some of them preach in a coat and tie, others in jeans and open collars. But the one common characteristic they all hold is an insistence upon the trustworthiness of scripture and the knowledge that without a personal faith in Christ alone our hearers are in route to a godless eternity.

As a preacher myself for over four decades I want to raise a warning flag up the flagpole of a volume such as this.

Nelson's Anual Preachers's Sourcebook Vol. 3 is not designed to provide an “easy fix” for late Saturday night sermon preparation. Volumes such as this should never be used as the only tool on the work bench of your personal study.


This sourcebook is designed to lay alongside all your other tools of word studies, exegesis, commentaries, prayer and analytical thought that goes into a fully developed and crafted sermon.

Then filtered through your own personality and experience, along with windows of personal illustrations, it is the editor’s prayer that the finished product will exhort, encourage and edify those who will hear it.

Perhaps there are no greater opportunities for the “preacher” to become the “pastor” than through the ministry of funerals and weddings.

Our friends may soon forget some of our most thought provoking and well prepared sermons, but they will never forget who stood by their side at the open grave of a loved one or who shared in the joy of officiating when they became “one in Christ” at a wedding altar.

Because weddings and funerals go a long way in legitimizing and earning a pulpit hearing much is devoted to these two ministries in this volume.

So, let’s begin the journey, confidant that it still . . . and will always . . . please God “by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe” (1 Cor. 1:21).

Many people today know a number of stories from the Bible, but they do not know the story of the Bible.

God’s Biography

Colin S. Smith and Tim Augustyn
The Bible is one story that begins with two people in a garden and ends with a crowd, too many to number, in a city. In the Bible, god tells us the story of how we got from this beginning to where we are today, and how we will get from where we are today to the ending he has revealed.
How do you respond to what God reveals to you in the pages of Scripture? Do you believe these treasures are available to you? - Bill Johnson

God’s Treasure House of Truth

Bill Johnson
GOD IS OPENING up His treasure house of truth and releasing it all over mankind in remarkable ways. I’m talking about the Holy Spirit unlocking the very Scriptures you hold in your hands.

Into the Abyss

J. Stephen Lang
In the 1800s missionaries often wore two hats: missionary and geographer. This was especially so in Africa where much of the continent had never been mapped accurately
Because Noah brought pleasure to God, you and I are alive today.

What Makes God Smile?

Rick Warren
The Bible says, Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it. Fortunately, the Bible gives us a clear example of a life that gives pleasure to God. The man's name was Noah.
