maybe, Carson sermon appeal to and relevant to, audience with some theological background, probably Mdiv or equivalent...haha... Hmmm ... I think Carson will be quite sad if that is the case. But in comparison with other speakers I have listened to (the more scholarly kind), Carson speaks well to the non-scholarly people too.
or , relevant to evangelical crowd who used to listen to biblical teaching... Evangelical or not, aren't we all to be bible-centered anyway? :)
charismatic homiletics, expouse the bible, but not only that, we walk one step further,,, by asking, is this what the crowd want to, and need to hear? I agree on the "need to hear" but not the "want to hear" because I think God don't quite care what the people want to hear but what the people need to hear.
so unlike carson, we are more audience based/audience needs driven, better to say, more contextualised Hmmm ... shouldn't we be biblical-based rather than audience-based? We need to first contextualise Scripture to its own time, author and audience and then to apply to ourselves based on what we learn from there, not the other way round.

ReplyDeleteor , relevant to evangelical crowd who used to listen to biblical teaching...
I said maybe only,, still trying to figure out....
I think, evangelical speakers, expouse bible teaching and preach that to the audience...
but , charismatic speaker and audience , belong to somewhat different paradigm...

ReplyDeleteso unlike carson, we are more audience based/audience needs driven, better to say, more contextualised...haha!
or in our context, we call it, prophetic sermon...rather than didactic per se...
just my personal opinion...cant represent all charismatic/pentecostal speakers..

yes, to charismatic.pentecostal paradigm, biblical plus audience based. , not soley biblical based.
ReplyDeletethats my observation and core of argument..
haha, tks for discussion.
the best way is to contrast two different sermon, by listening to the CD sermons, then evaluate...
