A Week with Kenneth Matthews on Moody Radio
Kenneth Matthews will be airing on Moody Radio’s Prime Time America every day this week at 4:46pm CT discussing Leviticus: Holy God, Holy People, the most recent title in Crossway’s Preaching the Word series.
Preaching the Word is a commentary series committed to biblical authority, clear exposition of Scripture, readability, and practical application. We encourage pastors and teachers as well as those committed to personal Bible study to tune in and learn more! Listen here.
Heralds of the King
“Now, listen for the voice of the Good Shepherd, as he calls his sheep by name from the pages of his Word, through heralds whom he has seized by invincible mercy and sent in joy, bearing his message of good news” (pg 15).
Heralds of the King is a gift from preachers to those who benefit from seeing Christ revealed on every page of scripture. With different gifts and backgrounds, each of the eleven contributors have this in common—they have been significantly influenced by Edmund P. Clowney’s example of Christ-centered preaching.
Dennis Johnson, Tim Keller, Skip Ryan, and others come together in this volume to demonstrate the diversity of the Scripture’s witness to Christ in hopes that readers might gain practical advice for proclaiming the good news of Christ’s redemptive work in their own ministry, whether as a pastor shepherding the flock or a witness among family, friends, and co-workers.
Read the Preface and Chapter 1.

Learning Evangelism from Jesus
We live in a world that is in opposition to the gospel. Though there is a great temptation to succumb to the ease of conformity, to remain in the comfortable isolation of like-minded relationships, or to passively silence and personalize our faith, we have a much more significant calling.
Learning Evangelism from Jesus challenges readers to abandon their comfort zones for the sake of the gospel. In his prayer for us, Jesus desired that we might be in the world as he was in the world. Jerram Barrs examines the diverse conversations Jesus had with people in his day and draws principles to graciously and powerfully engage the world as we communicate the gospel today.
ENDORSEMENTS:
“This is not a book about evangelistic technique but about doing evangelism biblically. There is a difference! Jerram Barrs shows us that Jesus had no wooden formula that he followed but rather was about engaging people in the depths of their being. As a result, this is an unusually wise guide to doing evangelism. The great truths of the gospel shine forth undiminished while at the same time the recesses of the human heart are explored with real insight.”
David F. Wells, Distinguished Research Professor, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary“In his practical, biblical, and winsome style, Jerram Barrs challenges us to humbly share good news with our friends who are far from God.”
Darrin Patrick, Founding Pastor, The Journey Church, St. Louis, Missouri
