Preaching from Memory to Hope

Addressing contemporary challenges in preaching, Thomas Long highlights four key issues: the decline of narrative preaching, the neglect of God's active presence, the resurgence of gnosticism in modern spirituality, and the lack of eschatological focus in sermons. Through his insights, Long calls for a revitalization of preaching that reconnects with these essential theological elements, aiming to enhance the effectiveness and relevance of the message conveyed in the church today.
