A social imaginary so fiercely and exclusively secular in its orientation has succeeded in starving many people of the hope of experiencing anything supernatural in their lives. Even many churchgoers have engaged in a deconstruction of their faith. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Some recent research seems to indicate, however, a slowing of this slide away from Christian faith. How will the church respond? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The premise of this book is that there is (and always has been) a kind of preaching that is \u003ci\u003esacramental\u003c\/i\u003e (encounter-enabling) in its effect. Genuinely anointed sermons are those that make it possible for hearers to sense the spiritual presence of the risen Christ during the preaching event. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If there was ever a time for a widespread reemergence of Christian preaching that is \u003ci\u003eprophetic\u003c\/i\u003e in nature, \u003ci\u003eincarnational\u003c\/i\u003e in manner, and \u003ci\u003etruly transformative\u003c\/i\u003e in effect, it is now. Though this type of preaching cannot be conjured or effected by human ingenuity, there are things preachers can do to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in the cultivation of ecclesial environments where sacramental sermons are more likely to occur, and with increased frequency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798385221011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Gary Tyra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53024757842101,"sku":"9798385221011","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9798385221011.jpg?v=1787667962","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sacramental-sermons-prophetic-incarnational-and-truly-transformative-preaching-9798385221011","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
