The Shepherd Preacher

A Practical Theology for Pastoral Exposition

Mark Hallock

Foreword by Timothy Z. Witmer

What kind of preaching do our churches need most?

As wonderful as many “big name” preachers are to learn from and listen to, there is nothing that can replace the ordinary, faithful preaching of a local pastor-shepherd. And for the care of his Church, the Lord not only cares about what is preached but how it is preached and who it is that preaches. In The Shepherd Preacher, Mark Hallock lays the biblical and theological foundation for the type of preaching that should mark the pulpit ministry of every local church pastor. This is the type of preaching that is God-centered, Christ-focused, and Spirit-empowered. This is the type of preaching that feeds and nurtures the unique flock put under a pastor’s charge, week in and week out, year in and year out.

This is God’s design for his Church. This is the joy of the shepherd preacher.
