The evangelical application problem - with Richard Coekin
from The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele
We evangelicals, says Richard Coekin, have a problem—and it’s a preaching problem. Richard Coekin says we are too often careless—his word—when it comes to application in preaching. We work hard on exegesis, we labour to understand the original context and the author’s intent—but then we stop short. We leave our congregations with sound doctrine, but little direction. Richard has just concluded 29 years as senior pastor at Dundonald Church in London and as the founding leader of the Co-Mission network across the UK capital. He now heads up Reach UK. Richard’s new book, Apply: How to Preach the Bible for Real Life, will be released in the UK Spring —and today he joins us to explore why good application is not an optional extra, but the very purpose of preaching. Correction: Apply will be published by 10 of those not The Good Book Company as was stated in the program.
