Passion 2011

Posted by MK | Filed under Preaching/Teaching, Videos

In 1998, I met with about 6,000 other college students in Austin, TX, for Passion. It was there that my spiritual paradigm was flipped on its head, and I’ve never thought about God, faith, or what it means to follow Jesus in the same way again. This year, Passion will be in Atlanta on January [...]

4 Keys to the Art of Teaching Scripture

Posted by MK | Filed under Preaching/Teaching

I’ve posted a few things before related to my personal philosophy of preaching and teaching (The 3 AM Statement,The 1 Question that Can Change Someone’s Life, and 7 Steps of Bible Study Preparation). Today, I’d like to post some things I try to keep in mind whenever I prepare to preach or teach. These are [...]

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

Posted by MK | Filed under Church, Preaching/Teaching

Here’s the backstory for this tremendous hymn from The Gospel Coalition: O Love that will not let me go I rest my weary soul in thee I give thee back the life I owe That in thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be O Light that foll’west all my way I yield my [...]

The Bible is Its Own Evangelist

Posted by Michael K. | Filed under Preaching/Teaching, Quotes

I found this to be a helpful reminder, especially since I am tempted often to feel the pressure to “flash up” certain biblical passages, always looking for the new hook or clever misunderstood Greek translation. That’s not to say we shouldn’t try and paint the most vivid picture possible of Scripture, but just a reminder [...]

Send a Student to Passion

Posted by Michael K. | Filed under Preaching/Teaching

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd4EPSy5upE] The Passion Conferences have been a huge influence in my life, a catalyst for spiritual growth. This January, in just a few weeks, I will be attending the 2010 conference as a community group leader. I’ll be there with around 20,000 college students and other leaders in Atlanta. If you’re a student reading this [...]

Hello from Cali!

Posted by Michael K. | Filed under Preaching/Teaching

Sorry for the lack of blogging the last couple of days. I’ve had the great privilege to be on the campus of California Baptist University speaking at their annual Spiritual Emphasis Week. Jana and the kids are here in Riverside, CA, too, and we spent today at the San Diego Zoo. The theme of the [...]

"Walk" Sermon Series Now Available

Posted by Michael K. | Filed under Preaching/Teaching

I changed the format of the blog a little in order to add something new, should you be interested. If you click on the “Resources” page of the blog, you will see a link to download a sermon series I preached a month ago. The series is called “Walk.” You can read the description on [...]

Where Are All the Preachers?

Posted by Michael K. | Filed under Church, Preaching/Teaching

Don’t get me wrong: I like Mark Driscoll. And Andy Stanley. Heck, I’ll say it: I like the creativity and admire the delivery of Ed Young. These guys are amazing communicators and it’s no wonder they have a tremendous following. But there’s something in me that’s a little uneasy about a church going so multi-site [...]

The 3 AM Statement

Posted by Michael K. | Filed under Preaching/Teaching

This post from Ben Arment reminded me again why I love One Point Teaching and Preaching. In that philosophy, you teach one major point. Everything leads to or comes out from that single point. It’s the one thing you want people to walk away from your Bible study, church service, or teaching moment with, echoing [...]
