David Brown calls evangelicals back to what we say we believe but are often too lazy to practice. In practical terms, he reminds us that sound preaching is driven by solid exegesis. Without question this is a crucial reminder in today’s “easy-does-it” church culture. As a pastor, I am both challenged and encouraged by his insights on the process of building sermons.

Grounded: Anchoring the Evangelical Sermon in Theological Doctrine is available for purchase online Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
Why grounded? Why now?
For the past several decades studies on the internal workings of the evangelical church have reflected a movement away from solid theological teaching from the pulpit. Too often, sound biblical preaching has been replaced with prosperity sermons, business models, and self-help remedies that have produced a generation of believers that have become progressively ignorant of the Bible and Christian doctrines.
Grounded: Anchoring the Evangelical Sermon in Theological Doctrine calls pastors back to their primary task of feeding the sheep. Grounded examines twenty passages and builds an interpretation based upon historical, literary and grammatical methodologies, then provides a sermon outline for each passage. Both pastors and Sunday school teachers alike will find this book helpful in preparing sermons and teaching outlines that are anchored in theological doctrine.
