25.01.2022 Did you catch our director Mike Raiter on the Bigger Questions podcast recently? Listen in to hear a challenging discussion on whether the God of the Bible is bloodthirsty: does God relish blood, sacrifice and violence?

23.01.2022 Mike recently recorded a sermon for Follow Baptist Church, titled 'Spiritual Armour for the Spiritual Battle', looking at Ephesians 6:10-23. A timely reminder and encouragement for Christians to stand firm and be ready for the spiritual battle. Remember we have more sermons like this in our preaching resources library, which you can freely access at: www.cbp.org.au/sermons

21.01.2022 Looking to invest in your preaching in this time? Do you want to develop or refresh your skills as a preacher of God's Word? We can offer tailored online preaching workshops and mentoring for you or your preaching team in this time. Contact us today and find out how we can support and equip you in your preaching!

20.01.2022 In a few weeks' time, the Centre for Biblical Preaching will be heading to Auckland, New Zealand in partnership with Dr. Alan Stanley to present a two-day workshop on Effective Biblical Preaching. Find out more and register your interest at the link below. Please tag or share with preachers and pastors in Auckland who might benefit from this opportunity!

18.01.2022 Don't skip it! Explaining the passage is essential to preparing every sermon. Most parts of the Bible require at least some explanation to help your audience correctly understand the meaning of the passage. Watch as Mike explains one of the most well-known verses in the Bible, John 3:16... Then head on over to www.cbp.org.au/library to watch the rest of Part 7 in our 10-Part Biblical Preaching course!

18.01.2022 Stories were central to much of Jesus' teaching. In the Sermon on the Mount alone, Jesus uses over 30 illustrations! From metaphors, to comparisons, to parables - Jesus understood the power of using story to communicate spiritual truths. Keep watching Part-9 of our Online Preaching Course to learn 4 reasons why you should use illustrations in your sermon: www.cbp.org.au/library

17.01.2022 Learning to Preach - an interview with Peter Adam via TGC Australia.

16.01.2022 "Preaching is a funny thing. It’s part science and part art. It takes a lot of hard work and discipline, but also a tremendous amount of creativity. As a pastor, nothing feels as satisfying as a good sermon, and almost everything feels easier to do." Great reflections from Kevin DeYoung on why preachers should always look to improve in their preaching. Even the most experienced preachers should look for ways to continue getting better, and Kevin suggests some ways we can do that. At CBP our passion is to see preachers improve and excel - so that the Word of God is faithfully and boldly proclaimed, and lives and hearts are changed by the gospel. Head to cbp.org.au/training to learn how we can support and equip you in your preaching.

12.01.2022 Is patience is the virtue we need in the midst of a pandemic? Mike writes a timely reminder and encouragement for these times over at TGC Australia.

10.01.2022 Continue to preach the Word, in season and out of season.

07.01.2022 Before we preach to others, we must preach it to ourselves.

06.01.2022 A great reminder about our responsibility as preachers from Murray Capill and our friends at TGC Australia. "We don’t just want to preach true information about Christ; we want to present him to people in the most compelling way we can so that they come to love him, praise him, trust him and desire to know him better. Preaching about Christ informs our minds, but preaching Christ brings him close to us so that we can grow in relationship with him."

06.01.2022 Last year we wrote about 10 things that can dampen your passion for preaching. To kick off the new year, we'd like to encourage you with 10 ways to refresh your preaching this year! How many will you try in 2020?

04.01.2022 How do you hone in on the correct application of a passage for your particular context? While textbooks, other sermons, and commentaries can help you understand and explain a passage - no one else will know your people and their context like you will! Learn more about the crucial step of application in your sermon in Part-8 of our Biblical Preaching course at: www.cbp.org.au/library

03.01.2022 You've worked hard at understanding the passage, structuring your sermon, and how to apply it to your specific context. You've thought about how to explain and illustrate your passage, using stories to engage your audience. And now... you're ready to put it all together! Watch the final part of our Online Preaching Course on how to bring all these elements together to write a biblical, faithful and clear sermon: www.cbp.org.au/library

02.01.2022 Let us work hard to correctly handle the Word of truth.

02.01.2022 A preacher's job is to communicate what God's Word is saying to a particular people, in a particular place, at a particular time. Commentaries and textbooks won't always help us find the right application of the text - but the Holy Spirit can and does! Learn more about the importance of application in biblical preaching in Part-8 of our online preaching course here: www.cbp.org.au/library
