In part two of our conversation with Jonathan Thomas, we continue exploring the profound connection between revival and preaching. Jonathan, a former pastor of 20 years and now a producer and editor in religious media, challenges us with a powerful metaphor: lifting up our sail as we preach. While deeply intrigued by revival, Jonathan offers an unexpected perspective—why we shouldn’t seek revival directly—and shares a moment of encouragement, reminding us that God is working in ways far beyond what we can see.

Following Jonathan’s insights, Peter and Mike reflect on the conversation and unpack its implications for our own preaching and ministry.

This is the conclusion of a rich and inspiring two-part series that has already resonated with many. Please join in, this is your conversation about biblical preaching!

Every sermon is made up of building blocks of content joined together by little moments of transition. These transitions can make a sermon flow powerfully, or stumble awkwardly. In this Bitesize episode of The Biblical Preaching Podcast, Peter shares some practical ideas to help your transitions strengthen your sermons.

Transitions help the unity of a message, as well as the order and progress too. Thank you for listening, and thank you for every interaction with this content.

Why Biblical Preaching?
In this first episode of Cor Deo’s new The Biblical Preaching Podcast, hosts Peter Mead and Mike Chalmers start at the beginning. Why preach? Have we not moved on from simply delivering a verbal monologue to a gathered congregation? They think about the biblical example, instruction and the theological undergirdings of a commitment to preaching.

So why refer to it as Biblical Preaching? Surely everyone who preaches thinks they are biblical? Is Biblical Preaching the same thing as “expository preaching?”

Join Peter and Mike as they launch the podcast with a discussion about preaching, and don’t miss the closing encouragement for preachers – while preaching may feel like a lonely path at times, we do not travel alone!
