Preaching During Advent
Jay Thomas
We are joined by CPT fellow Jay Thomas for a conversation about preaching, deconstruction, and the season of Advent. Jay gives a look into his weekly rhythm of preaching preparation, as well as how he anticipates preaching through the season of Advent. We discuss contextualizing the sermon for the season in the life of the church and for individual hearers. We also discuss how theological truth conveyed to the congregation through worship and liturgy. Finally, Jay discusses how he stays pastorally sensitive to those in the audience who feel themselves drifting from their faith or are undergoing a process of "deconstruction."
Jay Thomas is the Senior Pastor of Chapel Hill Bible Church in Chapel Hill, NC. He is the co-author of Sex, Dating, and Relationships: A Fresh Approach (Crossway, 2012). Jay is a member of the St. Anselm Fellowship of the Center for Pastor Theologians.
