a launch commentary

Pastors leading a church revitalization often have limited time with the same pressure every pastor feels to prepare weekly sermons that are exegetically-sound, biblically-faithful and inspiring.

Preaching for Revitalization: A Launch Commentary provides textual notes and commentary for a 13-week launch series specific to relaunching a church.The series walks through the letters to the seven churches in Revelation and highlights topics particularly pertinent to revitalization such as carrying out the Great Commission (Matt. 28:16-20) and learning from the growth of the early church (Acts 2:42-47).

The launch series is designed to work hand in hand with sermon-based small group discussion. You can learn more about sermon-based small group discussion in another Acoma Press publication Groups That Revitalize, co-authored by Alan Stoddard and Kenneth Priest.
