Christ was not a boring preacher! 'How wonderful it would be," says Stuart Olyott in the introduction to this book, 'if Christian preachers throughout the world were ministering like their Master!' Drawing on examples of Christ's preaching from the Gospels, Olyott challenges preachers today with three features of their Master's ministry. Christ's style and method were not boring, but gripping. Christ's preaching was evangelistic. Christ's ministry was more than just preaching: his whole life was ministry. In a fresh, compelling and practical way, Olyott guides preachers away from some of the perils and pitfalls that could hinder their success. In so doing, he shows us just how essential Christ's example is to those who seek to minister in his name today.

Perhaps no other part of Scripture has had as profound an influence on the story of the Christian church as Paul's epistle to the Romans. Luther said of Romans, 'It can never be read or considered too much or too well, and the more it is handled, the more delightful it becomes and the better it tastes.' This epistle is not a document intended only for the eyes of the seminary students or academics. It is not a treatise for theological experts. It is not a piece of specialized instruction for church officers, or a written lecture for preachers and pastors. It is a letter. And it is to ordinary people. Romans sets before us the gospel which the ordinary believer in the New Testament churches loved, and lived by. It is the gospel which was believed by the men and women, boys and girls who were saved by God's grace there in Rome. In this book the author aims to present a simple introduction to Romans for the ordinary reader today. His exposition goes straight to the heart of the passage, avoiding technicalities or obscure textural criticism.

The book of Daniel is full of practical help - especially for believers who find themselves standing alone in the classroom or at work, or among their family and friends. Daniel tells us how to remain true to God in a hostile environment, and shows us how to live for him when everything is against us. Daniel dared to stand alone. So can we. Dare to stand alone is a masterpiece of clear, helpful applied writing and causes the book of Daniel to be living and relevant not only in its exciting narrative section but in its highly symbolic section also.

History

In this book Stuart Olyott shows that the doctrine of the Trinity is plainly taught in the Bible, and that it is the foundation for a true understanding of the Christian gospel. The book is written in straightforward language and is intended for the ordinary reader. Although it certainly shows up the error of the modern cults, its main purpose is to lead people to a better understanding of what God has revealed about Himself in His Word.

What the Bible Teaches About the Trinity

In true Christianity God's revealed truth is believed, it is lived out, and it is felt. It impacts the soul. If we forget this we will eventually lose biblical religion altogether. But what are we to make of our emotions? What does the Bible say? And does it tell us how to know which of our feelings are pleasing to God, and which are not? This book begins by answering these questions before moving on to examine other aspects of spiritual experience. It sheds light on the Holy Spirit's work in the soul, on how to know whether we are true Christians or not, on what it means to experience the felt presence of Christ, and on how to seek and receive God's guidance. The book closes with two chapters on experiences in prayer which are now largely forgotten. There is an extended treatment of 'the prayer of faith'; that is, praying in such a way as to have certainty about the outcome. This is followed by teaching about 'waiting on God' and the wonderful things that happen to those who do. Whole continents of spiritual experience are waiting for us to explore them, and it is the author's prayer that this book will help many of the Lord's people on their journey.

Something Must Be Known and Felt

Read this book and recover a sense of wonder as you are drawn to gaze upon the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Perhaps you have wondered how two natures could perfectly co-exist in one person: the answers are here, clearly drawn from Scripture and expressed in plain English. It also exposes the fundamental errors of the cults and the liberal theologians who either deny our Lord's divinity or do not do full justice to his humanity.

What the Bible Teaches About the Person of Christ

Be Filled With the Spirit

All of us who hear preaching are aware that some of it gets through and that some of it does not. Why is this? What, if anything, can preachers do to communicate more effectively? And can this be done without degrading the glory of the gospel message, or detracting from it? This booklet will provide instruction, help, and encouragement to those who are wrestling with these questions.

Preaching That Gets Through

What is preaching? Why is some preaching arresting and powerful, and some boring and flat? How do you prepare sermons? The author states that God's work in the world and preaching are intimately linked; The kingdom of God and preaching are like conjoined twins who cannot be separated; they stand or fall together. This book is based on the author's preaching seminars held over the years in Switzerland, England and Wales, while additional material is taken from lectures given at the Evangelical Theological College of Wales, Bryntirion, Bridgend. The author insists that a sermon should be rooted in accurate exegesis, characterized by doctrinal substance, Christ-centerdness and supernatural authority, as well as being clear, direct, vivid, helpful and moving. His book explains why. A closing section outlines a suggested method of sermon preparation, and there follows a tribute to Hugh D. Morgan, a preacher who exemplified the principles outlined in this book.

Preaching Pure and Simple

This book is based on addresses preached at the Evangelical Movement of Wales Conference at Aberystwyth in 2005 and deals with the vital subject of Godliness. Godliness is contrary to the selfish spirit that moves the world, the flesh and the devil, in that it seeks to do everything for the glory of Christ. Stuart Olyott shows us that godliness is a moral and not a mystical quality; it is the fruit of union with Christ; it results in glad obedience to a new master and, although this will result in loss and suffering in this life, it anticipates the future glory of heaven which awaits every believer.
