Resource Catalog - EPI

 EPI-­‐Center Partner Resource Guide Dear Expository Preacher, This catalog is designed to be a companion resource for the expository preaching cohorts you will have an opportunity to join after the training institute concludes. Each page is a description of our preaching partners’ ministries along with comprehensive information about training materials they offer. The red links become interactive through the online version of the catalog which you can access through our website www.epi-­‐center.org. These links will take you to specific websites and tools within those sites. Some material will appeal more to preachers just starting out while other resources are geared toward more seasoned preachers. Your cohort leader is equipped to help determine what would be most helpful for you at your present level. We sincerely hope you will benefit from the preaching partners we’ve presented through the EPI-­‐Center. We’ll be adding additional resources as they become available, so please visit the website from time to time and select “Resources”. J. Kent Edwards, Ph.D., D.Min., is the Founder and CEO of CrossTalk Global. The goal of CrossTalk Global is to “equip biblical communicators, so that every culture can hear God’s voice.” We are not a seminary and do not offer academic degrees. We provide cultures across the globe with competent practitioners who are equipped to provide the biblical communication so desperately needed. www.crosstalkglobal.org Kent’s purpose in life is to change people’s lives with the Word of God and help others do the same. He has spent his life pastoring God’s people, preaching God’s word, and helping pastors around the world serve their Savior more effectively. He has authored two award-­‐
winning books, Deep Preaching (B&H 2009) and Effective First-­‐Person Biblical Preaching (Zondervan, 2005). Trust
Charles Simeon Trust Simeon Course Resources The Simeon Course on Biblical Exposition is a flexible online training platform for people who want to get better at studying and teaching God’s Word. We have three different courses that tackle different aspects of preaching and teaching from the Bible. Our first goal is to assist preachers and teachers of God's Word. For this reason, we thoroughly and thoughtfully review each item we produce or choose to share here in order to determine whether it meets our criteria for "helpful to the working pastor." The result of this process is our Resources section, organized into audio resources, video resources, and written resources. Each work was produced by our partner pastors and organizations and reflects what we think are the best resources in the world. Our partner organizations include Matthias Media, the Proclamation Trust, 9Marks, and the Gospel Coalition. Using a unique combination of world-­‐class professors and accomplished practitioners, these courses help students become familiar with how to preach and teach from each genre of the Bible (Literary Genre course), how texts function in the context of the whole Bible (Biblical Theology course), and how our doctrinal convictions should have an impact on our preparation (Systematic Theology course). http://www.simeontrust.org/ Haddon Robinson Center for Preaching The Preacher Resources Haddon W. Robinson is the Harold John Ockenga Distinguished Professor of Preaching, senior director of the Doctor of Ministry program, and former interim President at Gordon-­‐Conwell Theological Seminary. One of his major contributions to homiletics is the "Big Idea of Biblical Preaching" (the title of a book which is in his honor), whereby sermons should have one major idea (has one subject and one complement), even if the big idea breaks down into several subpoints. Robinson also argues that a sermon should be primarily expository, since that places the authority in the biblical text, not in the preachers themselves. If this is your first time, start with our weekly podcast -­‐ Preaching Points. If you’re looking for more in-­‐depth conversation and instruction on preaching, check out PulpitTalk, our quarterly CD journal on preaching. For those who are just starting out in the study of preaching, you will benefit from spending a few days with our faculty at the Preachers' College. And if you would like help on a sermon you are currently preparing or have recently preached, check out Sermon Doctor Rx. http://www.gordonconwell.edu/
